Never start a sentence (which is spelled "sentence" not "sentance") with "also". Typos and poor comma use are bad too! I am responsible fo this thread: http://www.minerealm.com/community/view ... f=7&t=9400. Never portray yourself as a Grammar Nazi if you do not have perfect grammar, or you will be ridiculed by a real Grammar Nazi which in this case is me)!
In addition to the misspelling of "fo" pointed out by The-Jack-Deck, in British English, it is considered acceptable to omit the period after abbreviations of titles if the abbreviation includes both the first and last letter of the abbreviated word.

The-Jack-Deck is correct in saying that you are allowed to start sentences with "also". There are some people who consider it improper formal English, but it has been historically used that way for centuries.

There is also a parenthesis at the end of your quote that has no matching opening parenthesis.

You would decide amongst a group of ban appeals. That is the ban appeal that you decided upon.

Both of you have forgotten one of the cardinal rules of pointing out grammatical errors: "Any attempt to correct someone's grammar will invariably contain at least one grammatical error of its own."

I find it humorous that you incorrectly used the word "capitol" in your grammar thread. Furthermore, you also misspelled the word "for" in the post directly before this one.

I would additionally like to challenge you by asking for proof that says the world "also" can not start a sentence. Please provide a web link to any site that proves so.

Sincerely,
The real Grammar Nazi

Oh, I may as well add that it has foul language.
Orrly?

Where is the grammar mistake in your post then? You broke the rules!

Some of these appeals (and "appels") made me laugh my head off. Now, I know this thread is supposed to be for appeals, but my absolute favorite thread in the bans section is one where Blockman12321 attempted to get me banned for doing pretty much nothing...on a ban request for him made by Ryu.

Ending a sentence with a preposition--it's debatable whether that's still considered a definite mistake, but that's the best I could find :P

I really enjoyed this one, he starts off claiming he did nothing then that he did grief, but suddenly he didn't know what griefing was but wanted to come back to our awesome server that he hates and has joined a new one which apperently he will get us all to join and leave here :S
