ibiza10, I'll pay you $10,000 if you stop using commas where decimal points belong.

Very ethnocentric of you. Would you use commas instead of decimal points if someone gave you $10,000?

I have to agree bator.....but really, on a sports forum, N.B.D.

Surely, you would have been a great English professor.

Or, if you have, or ever do have children, you will be very annoying telling those kids not to use ain't, and "it don't matter", etc.

If this post was gramatically correct, I'll kindly take a play instead of $10,000!

No, but for $50,000 I would. 

 

Damn you for making me admit that I'd cave for 50K.

That is totally weird that you just said that.  On the day I signed up here on Covers in 2004, I was thisclose to being "MrEthnocentric" instead of "MrBator."  I often feel I made the wrong choice.

Any one of them goes up for adoption on the day I hear "it don't matter" come out of their mouth.

Mr Ethnocentric is way cooler and even sounds better.  Bator is kind of boring.  The only people who care about grammer are either people who are very anal or well read.  I just can't see you reading a Charles Dicken's novel though to relax.

Actually, both.  And there's no "e" in "grammar."

Why did you stick an apostrophe in between the "n" and the "s" in Dickens' name?  Are you just toying with me at this point?

In response to 165yds:

Aren't being well read and "anal"( aka conscientious and thorough) qualities that a good capper should possess?

Emotional betting is fun but not prudent in the long term.

I certainly would not want to regularly follow a bettor who does little reading/watching/research prior to betting the games...
