"and theres nothing wrong with perrin, except for how he uses ellipses in place on full stops."

There is absolutely nothing wrong with that... I personally consider it a sign of high intelligence...

I must say that I am a big fan of ellipses, myself... it becomes too troublesome to try to figure out the correct grammar usage in every single scenario, which would often cause me to lose my intended thought..

That said... whether you like the way Perrin conveys his thoughts or not, he does provide very useful input on the possible negative side effects of certain actions. It's pretty hard to speak of possibly negative things in a non-negative manner, so I give him leniency for that. xD

Really, X? You think my sentence implies that I am more than one teacher? Let's break it down.

"...reading anything any of you write. I'm glad I'm not your teachers."

Your refers back to the previous sentence's use of you, which is "any of you." Since "any of you" points to a collection of people, the following "your" must be the collective possessive form of "you". This means that "your" here is plural, therefore the following noun "teacher" must also be plural. In simpler terms, "your teachers" refers to the many teachers all the Warlight posters (see "any of you") have. Since you as a group have more than one teacher, "teacher" must be pluralized.

And you, X, are one of the many examples of bad writers on this forum that make me feel empathy for the teachers (I'm assuming you've passed kindergarten and therefore have had multiple teachers in your life; a risky assumption at this point) you've had who were forced to read and grade your written assignments in school. It must be extremely frustrating to be your (meaning just you, [WM] x) teacher.

if you had written "im glad im not any of your teachers" or "im glad i dont have to teach you" it would have been fine. you said "im glad im not your teachers" which clearly means that between us we have more than one teacher, and you are glad that you arent both/all of those. its a perfectly acceptable mistake, especially as this is a forum for some game on the internet and i dont expect you to reread thoroughly or at all, because who cares. thats the same reason i dont bother to use capital letters or apostrophes, like i would if i was writing an actual essay. my spelling is perfect (not counting typos), my grammar is at worst only acceptable, when im really not putting any effort into what i write. if you could produce some actual evidence of me being a bad writer, id like to see it.

if i were you, i would also refrain from insulting my writing when i have just pointed out quite a large grammatical error on your part (which i might call ironic, if i wasnt so sure you would start a pedantic discussion on the meaning of that word). and not only that, but after you [haughtily](http://www.thefreedictionary.com/haughtily) attempted to correct it. i cant believe that you didnt understand the intent of my 11-word criticism. im glad im not your students. but only because it must be very confusing to exist as 30 different people simultaneously.

If you have a ball, it's your ball.
If you and your mom have a ball, it's your ball.

The ball doesn't get pluralized unless there is more than one ball.

If you had a teacher, it's your teacher.
If your whole third grade glass was being taught by one teacher, it's your teacher.

The teacher doesn't get pluralized unless there is more than one teacher.

This is the major gap in the the English language. There is no "you" plural like in almost any other language. This is why I am a proponent of "y'all" (OK so maybe here it's a little more complicated and you would have to do "y'alls ball" but I am OK with that. Languages evolve and it's ridiculous we have no plural you).

and, while were here, what is inside the parentheses of your last sentence doesnt make sense. if "your" means "you, [WM] x", then the last sentence would read: "it must be extremely frustrating to be you, [WM] x teacher." not that you needed that extra part, since the whole paragraph was clearly directed at me. maybe it would be frustrating to be my teacher, because i would continually be pointing out your faults.

and you wrote my name wrong twice. its lower-case not upper-case, youll learn the difference between the two after you pass kindergarten.

I have minced Perrin about being pedantic and he was at least man enough to consider it and say he would, in future, try and be less so. The way this thread has continued I see that was wasting my time as Perrin was one among many who reduce some threads to meaningless waffle over grammatical correctness. At least he read and digested my posts though.

Ya know what, I pretty much instantly regretted writing my last post. I see so much childishness in the Warlight forums and now I'm contributing to it. I made a joke. lowercase x made a joke. I didn't take it well. And honestly, lowercase x, it was a good joke. I'm sorry for getting all self-righteous.

Dr. Type, here's some trivia knowledge for you: the plural of y'all is all y'all. I'm actually not joking. Look it up.

Raver, no one cares what you think.

Yes, the plural of y'all is y'all. But what is the possessive of y'all? I have mostly heard y'alls.
