There are too many 'this or this' threads, or general questions, so basically put them all here, and wait for somebody to answer them. This will stop the boards from clogging up.

I have a question, just to keep this thread alive..>.>

Is it ok to correct people on Gaia?
Because they either snap at you, or insult at you.
Preferably, I hope they insult me.
So I can show off my grammar skills...>.>

Thanks for the semi-bump.
Correct them. If they whine or flame they're morons and there's a shiny 'ignore' button close at hand.

Does the ignore button prevent them from commenting on your profile?
Because the girl is sending me comments to kill myself..

What, does she want me to hunt her?

I don't think this is working. Would it be better if we made this thread a sticky or something? sweatdrop

Due to Yami's direction of thought, that won't happen.

I have a question. Is it "two cent's worth", or "two cents' worth"? I used the phrase in my request to join this guild, and now that I've given it some thought, I'm really not sure which one it is. It's been bugging me out.

I think it's "two cents' worth", because (speaking literally) you're giving the worth of your two cents.

This has been bothering me since I was six, but I forgot the example and I only just remembered it last week.

Okay, so here it is: "her her". As in, "I gave her her apple."

It just sounds so...wrong! Yet how else would you say it?

I'm confused.
