*sigh* I'm only going to sing this one more time: ***ooooooh punctuation where did you go? punctuation don't you know a sentence can't make sense without you punctuation*** A few well placed commas and apostrophes may benefit you. In any case, it might be best to know the plot of the musical before naming it

Don't be too hard on the girl, just because most people on the forum are freakishly grammatical doesn't mean everyone has to be.
(Not that I'm calling good grammar freakish, just uncommon on forums.)

Well, I think we may have different definitions of "good grammar", but I do agree that the grammar on this forum is above average. I think it's a good idea to have high standards, though. And...understandable posts.
For example -
"and were lacking in a title any suggestions?"
Does this mean:
And we were lacking a title, any suggestions?
And we ARE lacking a title, any suggestions?
And we were lacking (something unknown) while in a title, any suggestions?
We are lacking a title-any-suggestions
(*the title-any-suggestions is a rare cousin of the wombat native to South Korea)
See what I mean? How can I respond until I know which of those she is talking about?

"Capitalization means the difference between 'I helped my Uncle Jack off a horse' and 'i helped my uncle jack off a horse.'"
teehee.

Kathleen, I think you mean: "The Musical has been postponed due to the fact that I have more pressing tasks at hand, lol." Otherwise it sounds like the musical has once been and postponed does the fact o... and... yeah. And I understand that a musical would not be completed with school coming up.

Well, Maria, it IS possible that she meant to say "de facto"

*rolls eyes* Guys, lay off. We can all easily tell what's she's saying. Web types the same way (if not worse :X) and I haven't heard anyone complain.

Yeah, seriously, Allan, lay off a bit. She's barely been on the forum for a week and a half and she has a higher post count than you. She obviously likes it here, don't scare her off.
Sorry if that sounded mean, you just don't have to be so harsh is all...
