Has anyone noticed how horrible some of these questions on here are worded? And the spelling? Sometimes I can't even figure out what the person is trying to say! Is there some kind of e-mail/internet shorthand? Because its driving me crazy!

For example I want to know the word for "an unstoppable force", it will become "juggernaut". I have other phrases I need words with.

The incorrect use of 'your' instead of 'you're'?
Boize = boys, etc.
Or the pronunciation of 'because' as 'becuz'?

I thought the movie was awful. I wrote a good review on it for a newspaper, but I cannot think of a good title. I want it to involve snakes or something, but I cannot think of anything. I want it to be a play on words. Can anyone help me? Thanks.

I'm writting a paper for class, on the play Oedipus Rex. I'm citing the part of the play where Tiersais, the blind oracle comes in and tells Oedipus that he (Oedipus) is.....
Blinder or More Blind
than Tiersais is.

(The rule for grammar is that if the adjective is one syllable, then you don't use the more, you just add the -er. But, isn't there a rule about being blind? Cause blinder doesn't sound like a word, and m-w.com doesn't have it in it's pages either....)

So, which would be the correct grammar usage? And for that matter, the above sentance, shouldn't it be written:
"... where Tiersais, ..., tells Oedipus that Oedipus is ( BLIND )than he."
Because Tiersais is the subject and therefor, he gets to be repalced by the pronoun 'he'.
Right?

Ugh... Thanks for you answers to this!

Does anyone know if the Brain Training game (on Nintendo) really works, or is it just a game? My scores seem to fluctuate daily depending on how I'm feeling. He does annoy me when he says it's sunny every day - and it's raining!
