Please learn how to use words correctly, such as these examples:
"They're taking their stuff over there."
They're is used for They Are.
Their shows posession.
there is a place.
"You're taking your package."
You're is used for You Are.
your is possesive. It belongs to you.
"Then I would rather have this than that."
Then is when.
Than shows comparision
"It's too late.
not
"It's to late.
"There are two ways to look at this, too."
Two is a number
too can be substituted with ALSO
to works otherwise.
And it's is It IS.
These are just a few pet peeves. I see these mistakes often on this board and others.
I am not a expert on grammer, but I know these and it bugs me to see educated people use them wrong.

Same here, though English is now probably my second language (I speak Russian - it's been mandatory under the Commies, for me worth 12 ys of school, LOL - but it's unused for ~2 decades now, so my vocabulary is very limited, still fluent in Latin, because of it also speak some Italian too, picked up sh*tty kitchen German at the lake during summers where Western and Eastern Germans used to meet etc).
Whereas I'm kinda elitist on this when it comes to my native language - it's pretty rare, only spoken by ~15M people, though also probably the second most difficult-to-learn language
-, I agree with Darrel on this.
English is the modern Latin (solely in terms of being the #1 int'l language, otherwise it's pretty far from the level of sophistication Latin has/had) and we shouldn't forget that US is THE Country Of Immigrants, so I think it's relly pointless to bitch about it on a US forum, let alone where you already have folks from all around the globe. I agree though sometimes it pisses me off too, when I see some really stupid things - but I never bitch about it, I must add.

Ahhhh, so now I remember where we met long time ago T2k !T2k said:
What I really enjoy in this forum is that we don't have "real voice" transmitting here. While my 2 sons (17,18 years old) speak english without accent - it is "slightly" different with mine and it won't change.
The worst what I can do is swear in english - I did it once.
Imagine you are real real mad and start cussing and everybody starts laughing, either you explode - or you start laughing at yourself and with them too

Yep, that lake.
First things I learned, most likely from those "very real" DDR girls were "noch einmahl" and "auf meine *** bitte"...
By the time the Commies went to Hell - too bad it's not true :d - and Germany was restored we missed those "real" Easterners, though I have to admit our girls looked better generally speaking.
It's still beautiful and full with chicks summertime. I was sailing on the North shore for over a decade summertime and I know it from A-Z.

Season 2 order already in hand:
'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' Renewed for Season 2, Tatiana Maslany to Guest Star in Season 1
I've not been optimistic about this show based on what I've read so far. Seems to be aimed at a younger audience. Interesting though that Tatiana Maslany will have some sort of role.

A continuation of a thread from the pub, just general discussion of AI.
Brief 60 minute clip about next gem autonomous fighters - not remote controlled, but rather collaborating with controllers and aircraft in the theater.

We've literally got a movie already about this

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

I did that as well, putting one in my Work truck with the antenna kit, trying to do it so WORK didn't see it.
