Fix your grammar!
Last day so I thought i'd make one last game.
This one is rather simple or complicated, depending on how you play.
Person A makes a deliberate grammar/spelling mistake, Person B corrects it in a quote and makes it obvious what they changed, Person B makes one them self.
Eg:
Person A: I lik candy.
Person B:
Person A wrote:
I like candy.
I have excellent grammer.

Got it? Good, ill start. What is wrong in the last line of this post then?

My name is Jacob, I am from Sweden and I was born in December.
You made two, was that intentional or purely an accident? In any case, I made a slightly harder one involving text from a made up story.

Bob stood up.
"Why do I have to put up with Sundays?" He said.

Can you see it?

To capitalize each line and
Never rhyme! Here is my
Final hint: It is before my
Other hints! Did you find it?

Commas need to be added to each line of a poem at the end if no other punctuation is there

Don't post this in word 
See if you can spot what's wrong.
Quote from one of my stories xD Edited of course.
He supposed it could have been worse, at least no one was afraid of him like the certain angry janitor he knew.

Re: Fix your grammar!
Also, in Samurai768's thing, ellipsises always have four periods at the end of a sentence!

Quoting Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas:
"The smell of cakes and pies are absolutely everywhere."
What's wrong with that sentence?

Is.
Don't forget your subject/verb agreement!
"'Twas brillig and the slithy toves
did gyre and gimble, in the wabe.
all mimsy were the borogoves,
and mome raths outgrabe.
'Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The Jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird and shun
the frumious Bandersnatch!'"
Yes, there are a lot of make-up words, which makes it harder to find my two mistakes.

I might remake this game on the new forums, it's quite an interesting thread.

No one figured this yet? Anyone know what a semicolon is used for?

LOL, I know what a semicolon is; I just wasn't on. I love semicolons so much I use them too often. XD

Yes, it's a run-on sentence. But where should allthe punctuation go? Commas, quotation marks, semicolons, periods, and more. I know, I'm evil, but the next one to solve this well-known punctuational puzzle gets one hundred points.
