It stands to reason that the cripple man of high standing could not stand the below standard stand where he could only stand

It is important to keep shareholders of Warriner's Handbook happy.

grammar is really important to me and my grammar is perfect every time because im just that good with english and gramar it isnt hard and if i can rite using perfect grammar and speling because i use spelchek anyone can do it because it just takes a little practice and yeah it isnt that hard you know

As if someone could really discern the difference... But yeah, they aren't exactly the same, like the pause between words is obviously in a different place, duh.

They should, because the glottal stop, though easily ignored by Finns, does have a function in Finnish phonetics. It's what makes the difference between "anna ajaa" ("let me drive") and "Anna ajaa" ("Anna is driving"), for instance.

Ah, it's bloody important. During WW2, the U.S had given Japan an ultimatum to cease engagement. The Japanese responded by stating that they were considering and needed more time. However one kanji (japanese alphabet) was misinterpreted (by the press) and the message came across as "we are ignoring it in contempt".

That's pretty much how 'Hiroshima" and "Nagasaki" were bombed.

You could of done you're own research.

ps. Don't qoute me. This post is copywrited... or is... uhm... was it copywritten? oO Shit. That's definately... finetly... fin... That's it, I'm Finish!

Grammar can also be a super important tool of social distinction.

Check the intro of "sherlock" season 1 episode 3 to see an educated well-read prick uselessly correcting an uneducated convict's grammar at every sentence just to feel all superior and remind them both their respective places in society.

I find that very hard to believe. Why would the press have anything to do with that? And how would that explain more than just one city being bombed? You'd think that if there were an error, after the first city got wiped off the map that they'd send a new message.

Well i find it hard to believe as well, but for a different reason.... Many Japanese tried to overthrow the emperor to prevent the surrender,,, after being Nuked twice!! I think that suggests in the strongest possible terms that "we are ignoring it in contempt" was true.

I believe both cities were bombed in a manner by design where there was very little time to react.

I do, however, hate people who use "of" instead of "have" or say things like "I could care less" (without meaning them)...

"I'd rather be pissed off than pissed on"
vs
"I'd rather be pissed off then pissed on"

~ Punctuation is part of grammar.

Here's a case-in-point; possibly intentional.

Pst! Keep editing : " Doesn't your local PBS station carry anything?"

This is a joke or some horribly bad misinformation. Correlation doesn't imply causation.

I don't consider it that way, and I have the impression english-speaking people consider conjugation, orthography and syntax to be parts of grammar (I don't know if it is the case or not, I just know that in French it isn't).

I did a bit of wiki exploration to see what's what in both languages, but I am a bit at a loss regarding english.

Confirmation bias isn't fact. Grammar is defined as "the study of the way the sentences of a language are constructed; morphology and syntax." (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/grammar). Punctuation is an essential part of that.

Grammar isn't purely conjugation, although that's a portion of it. If you say that punctuation is also essential to French, and I can't imagine it isn't important to any written language, then that's an element of grammar, and therefore grammar is also important there.

Also, orthography (aka spelling) does affect tense and a multitude of other factors depending on context, but isn't a sole factor. Though, if I'm interpreting your overarching meaning correctly, you mean to say that in French things like that are more consistent and less prone to context (EG - "I am going to read" vs "I read already" or "run" vs "ran"). Which I believe is the case in many European languages (though Spanish for instance is highly prone to gender considerations in context).
