I could get some cheap blue face paint and fashion myself as a Bolian or an Andorian Don't tempt me

Trek had it sussed, I need a universal translator!

Ahh, you mean the Orion slave girls. But with blue paint I get to be two different alien races,I could deliberately confuse people by sticking some antennae type things on my head.

I'm sorry about this - I hate to be a grammar nazi. But I swear I die inside a little every time I see:

'should of' instead of 'should have';
'could of' instead of 'could have'; or
'would of' instead of 'would have'.

In case it's not clear - the latter phrases (with 'have') are correct, the former phrases (with 'of') are unacceptable abominations and insults against the english language.

Phew. Rant over.

I apologise profusely for being an unrepentant grammar fascist...

this should of been pointed out earlier! we should of made it a sticky!

Very good point yet there are so called academic's here or college educated member's who are the worst offender's in spelling aswell as sentence/paragraph structure. We have all commited this heinous crime on more than one occasion yet only the most anal retentive make it out as a life changing experience.

I can't spell for toffee, physicists work with numbers and symbols not words We should have a spell checker on the forum, another board I visit has one and it's a God send.

I should emphasise that my original post was, at least to some extent, tongue in cheek - it's purpose was two-fold: to remind people of the correct grammar whilst laughing at the fact that I care about it so much.
