Spelling Mistakes

Faith:

Listen, no offence, but I really think you have no right to do that. My sentense sentence was in a different style than yours, and to me yours doesn't sounds right. You retold my text. That's not what editors should do, is it? Your variant would mess with my text because it just wouldn't fit. Dude, your job is to correct mistakes, not redo the whole text...

And that sentense I posted...it just had a few words removed, and I don't know why one would do it, unless the text needed to be shortened.

My style? You do realize I didn't write the rules of the English language, correct? 'Your style' in that case was bad grammar and didn't make sense. I'm the article admin, its my job to fix things like that. Michelle was an editor asked to do that as well. We most definitely do have the right to correct mistakes like that. I edited the parts that were incorrect, that was one of them.

As a story editor here I wouldn't fix anything like that... I would have deleted it and wrote a PM explaing that the sentence structure was off and to fix it.

I couldn't do that with the articles... I had to fix it.

I am sorry Faith that you don't feel that I should done that but I was doing a job Dujo asked me to do. I admit I made mistakes some stupid ones but I stand behind my work as a whole.



I also think that this forum is not the place to have this debate... maybe we should move it elsewhere where the general GSB public can't see

Kurtni:

Celebrity is a noun, not an adjective, which is exactly what the link you posted shows O_O. Celebrityhood would be the state of being. Towards is a preposition, and prepositions have to modify a verb. Right there it was modifying "beginning". So, that sentence would mean he was moving towards a celebrity, which isn't what you meant. You wanted to say he was on hiw way to becoming a celeb right? Then you either need becoming in there, or celebrityhood.

And yes, you did have problems with comma's. I don't have your original article anymore, but you spliced them. In the sentence you just posted, they were spliced. A comma can not join complete thoughts on its own.
"Sentence 1-As a child, Armstrong was often singing in hospitals

Sentence2-which gave him great experience as well as broadened his musical outlook
Sentence 3-he had to sing songs from musicals and other types of songs he would have never performed otherwise"

Those are 3 seperate thoughts. commas can not join things like that. You could have used a semicolon to link independent clauses, but not comma's. Even with semicolons, that sentence is a run on. However, even then it can only like 2 clauses and thats three.

K, to begin with, me saying "I don't have a problem with commas" meant that I don't have a problem with the commas in the current text. Yet, if a comma is placed wrong, it doesn't give you a right to redo the text. What you did with that sentense doesn't fix the problem you stated, and it's all the same that it was just a few words deleted for some reason. I'm pretty sure a person who really knows grammar would prove to you that what you did to my text changed nothing grammar wise, but I'm not gonna mess with that 'cuz the sentense still makes sense, and it's easier for me to just leave it be rather than try to explain anything to you.

Now. Semantics...

The Link I gave you says:

ce·leb·ri·ty

NOUN:
pl. ce·leb·ri·ties

1. A famous person.
2. Renown; fame.

No, I was not trying to say he was on his way to becoming a celebrity. I was trying to say he was on his way to celebrity. To fame.

Quote

So, that sentence would mean he was moving towards a celebrity, which isn't what you meant.

That is exactly what I meant (well aside from the article, it's not needed). Celebrity=fame.

I hope you understand my thought now. And Dujo already changed the text back to my original variant (but 'celebrity' is replaced with 'fame' in case there are more people who get confused but that unbelievably complecated word). So, the case is pretty much closed.

I've got a spelling mistake here. Well, actually, its a typo. In "The Network:Exposed", there's a quote from Billie Joe in the ninth paragraph.

"The only thing I can say is 'uck you Network, bring it on." If that's not a typo and the 'f' was meant to be censored, then the word "fuck" appears in a sentence just before this one, so maybe that needs to be fixed. No, wait...k nevermind.

I'm done.

Well I was readin the Mike bio and...

Mike is a rock idol to all kinds of bands and has inspired so many people to pick up and instrument and just have fun.

It should be an, if I understand what the sentence is suppose to mean.

Er, pick up AN instrument. Just to clarify.

Stale Coffee:

Er, pick up AN instrument. Just to clarify.

Thanks, it was fixed right after you posted about it

http://www.geekstinkbreath.net/greenday/article/meet-john-kiffmeyer/

Billie Joe was also the author of one of the column in the zine.

Columns?



http://www.geekstinkbreath.net/greenday/article/whats-it-like-riding-with-boys/

To promote Riding in vans with boys,

lol lack of caps.

So, after reading this, I don't know how any sane human could not want to watch this movie, and expierence the Pop Disater tour in a whole new way with Riding in Vans with Boys!



http://www.geekstinkbreath.net/greenday/article/the-life-story-of-mr-white/

He has his own platform in the 'Wake Me Up When September Ends' video and he is the guy who is making out with his girlfriend in the 'When I Come' around video.



http://www.geekstinkbreath.net/greenday/article/the-story-of-the-dirnts/

Mike and Billie Joe practied playing cover versions of songs on the guitar, and Mike later decided to switch to playing bass.

Practiced. Or practised whatever.

This may have been due to his Mother's refusal to sign some mandatory attendance forms.

Should that have a capital?
...Just because later on it isn't capitalized so yeah.

His 'Fiancée' is believed to be called Brittney.

lol isn't her name Brittany idk.



http://www.geekstinkbreath.net/greenday/article/internationally-known-shenanigans/

Cake fight's,

...Doesn't need an apostrophe.

After quite awhile staying out of the limelight, Billie Joe reentered it, and not in his most sober form.

Is it meant to be 'a while' or am I wrong lol.



http://www.geekstinkbreath.net/greenday/article/living-without-warning/

If you have listened to the song, you know it has in interesting begining.

With Nimrod, they had a ton of songs, and could just pick and chose what they wanted.

In it Billie Joe ran for president, with the Slogan "Vote Billie Joe, Don’t be a pussy." They also realized some counter propaganda saying not to vote For Billie Joe because of his ugly wife (played by Tré Cool in drag.)

lol caps.

"Yeah, I'm going to learn….I'm going to learn to skate really good and if I can't,I'm going to get hurt doing it!"

lol space there.



http://www.geekstinkbreath.net/greenday/article/tattoos-of-a-talented-drummer/

Tre Cool may not have quite as many tattoo’s as his fellow band mates,

Does that need an apostrophe or wot?

Joseph Marcicano Armstrong



http://www.geekstinkbreath.net/greenday/article/mastering-the-moon-men/

The oOnly award Green Day was nominated for they didn’t win was best art direction in a video, which went to Gwen Stefani.



http://www.geekstinkbreath.net/greenday/article/green-day-takes-on-cbgbs/

(i.e. Riped jeans, razorblade earrings, mohawks and safety pin décor)



http://www.geekstinkbreath.net/greenday/article/freaky-isnt-even-the-word/

The massive media attention was just what he wanted, he could spread his believes and poison the minds of Americans everywhere

Beliefs?

(The Nightmare Before Christmas, James and the Giant Peach, The Corpses bride, ect.)

Corpse lol. \o/

*Also: In the actual movie, all last names were changed to start with a "H" for legal purposes. (ie. Sharon Hate, Charlie Hanson, ect.)



http://www.geekstinkbreath.net/greenday/article/its-cheech-baby/

Feel proud, you just made a legendary Cheech, congradulations and enjoy it.



http://www.geekstinkbreath.net/greenday/article/lights-camera-action/

He directed the Phantom planet video, 'California' and all the videos for the Strokes.

Caps.

As if his accomplishments weren't impressive enough, he also directed commercials for Coke-a-Cola and Gap.

lol isn't it Coca Cola.



http://www.geekstinkbreath.net/greenday/article/behind-green-day/

When your racing across the stage, double picking to St. Jimmy isn’t always practical.

Is that meant to be you're or what I don't get that sentence omg.



http://www.geekstinkbreath.net/greenday/article/green-days-beginning-lookout-records/

The capitalization of 'records' is just like...scattered or something, if that's worth being fixed.

Its estimated Green Day made way over 1 million (closer to 3 million actually) in royalties every year.

It's?

50,000 dollars was spent to get a booth at the Warped Ttour, which was ultimately pointless because they couldn't compete with the booths around them.



http://www.geekstinkbreath.net/greenday/article/tres-support-system/

Ramona also features prominetly in her mother Lisea's artwork.

He once spoke about fatherhood in an interview, stating; "You just can't pull out the gun and blow the TV away anymore, 'Cause the baby might be sleeping".

...Caps again I'm probably wrong.



http://www.geekstinkbreath.net/greenday/article/the-age-of-insomniac/

Dookie had helped to fill a post-Nirvana vacuum, but could Insomniac match up to its bigger, more successful brother? .

The reason for the bands anger was that Jennifer Anniston was supposed to be a guest on the show and she cancelled at the last minute.

Aniston.

Added to that, it reached16th in the UK Singles Chart, and 27th on the Official Irish Singles Chart.



http://www.geekstinkbreath.net/greenday/article/the-compositions-of-mr-cool/

This song's title, 'Food Around the Corner', are also the lyrics to the song, complete with some yodeling.

Another one on Tre's masterpiecies is 'Boys in the Bathroom Stall'.

You can also hear 'Good Riddance' on two episodes of ER and the very last episode of Seinfield.



http://www.geekstinkbreath.net/greenday/article/kings-for-more-than-a-day/

The guy who was interviewing them was boring them out of there minds with questions

, Green Day was scheduled to play the Mt. Fuji Rock Festival, but it was canceled.

Since it's release, Nimrod has gone double platinum and is still a very monumental album in their career.



http://www.geekstinkbreath.net/greenday/article/warping-into-the-ultimate-idiots/

Green Day didn’t hold anything back when it came to politics on 'American Idiot'; look at the title of the Album.

Is that capitalized for a reason?

Playing old favorites like 'Brain stew/ Jaded' and 'Good Riddance',

idk the space bugged me.



http://www.geekstinkbreath.net/greenday/article/the-network-exposed/

Read on to discover the Network for what they really are: heartless con artists, masters of deception and trickery.

lol caps.

That's just one area where this sleazy little man is taking credit for the wonderful things Billie Joe did for the Network.

lol and again.

Captain Underpants is an Olympic gold medallists on the Swedish team, although no one is really sure in which events he competed. He also speaks 7 different languages, and his stutter in noticeable in them all. Captain Underpants is also gifted in making instruments.

He enjoys hitchhiking and plays on Captain Underpant's keyboards using only one finger.

Should that be Underpants'?

It's disrespect and completely incorrect statements like these that prove Doctor S is immature and lashes out a Green Day because his life is lame.

(The Network's faces breaks cameras, that's the real reason why they can't show their faces)

It should just be break, y/n.

It isn't uncommon for a Green Day album to begins with drums; can you guess who else's album begins with drums?

Well, I hardly find that a reason at all, just because the Network lacks the musical talent to produce a nine minute song doesn't prove your not Green Day.

The only thing I can say is 'uck you Network, bring it on." Good job Billie, someone needed to say it!

lol I think that's been pointed out already but k.



http://www.geekstinkbreath.net/greenday/article/prior-to-popularity/

Green Day had been written on John's jacket.This quickly became Sweet Children's new, much cooler, name.

Larry is the founder of Lookout records, Green Days first label.They were releasing an EP under the name "Green Day" when everyone knew the band as "Sweet Children".

There is some confusion as to what Green Days first Gig was.

Caps.

After the lyrics in the 1039/ Smoothed Out Slappy Hours booklet,

Space.

After such success with the EP's, they mashed them all together into one kick ass album they called 1039/ Smoothed Out Slappy Hours.

After wrapping that tour up, Green Day began working on the second full-length album, Kerplunk. Kerplunk was a huge underground achievement for Green Day, selling over 50,000 copies, which was unreal for a little punk band from Berkeley

lol no period.

Back before 1039/ Smoothed Out Slappy Hours,



The Ritual of the Trout was a dance that wanna-be fan girls often did at a Green Day concert.

Wannabe?



http://www.geekstinkbreath.net/greenday/article/the-man-behind-the-green/

For the worse, or even better, who knows? But ultimately Green Day’s future would have been dramatically altered

Period!



http://www.geekstinkbreath.net/greenday/article/billie-joe-a-cornucopia-of-artwork/

The 27 in a circle are the Riverdale's logo. The Riverdale's are a punk band signed on Lookout! Records.

The 27 in a circle is The Riverdales' logo. The Riverdales are a punk band singed on Lookout! Records. ?

In addition to the tattoo's mentioned above you can also find a black heart and a butterfly.

Billie Joes left arm may have a slightly smaller number of tattoos,

Apostrophe?



http://www.geekstinkbreath.net/greenday/article/away-from-greenday/

a glass case which holds Barbie’s dressed as the employee’s and a notice board displaying ‘The Band of the Month’ are some of the neat things that can be found on the interior.



http://www.geekstinkbreath.net/greenday/article/a-master-piece-named-mike-dirnt/

Mike Dirnt on getting his tattoo's

And period lol!

Above that you will find the face from the 1,039/ Smoothed Out Slappy Hours booklet.



The only tattoo found on the front of Mikes forearm is the Japanese symbol for pot, reminiscent of their teenage years.

Apostrophe.

Jason died in a tragic/ possibly suicidal car accident.

omg space.



http://www.geekstinkbreath.net/greenday/article/1994-the-year-of-green-day/

Grammy's, Mudstock, number one song on the modern rock chart's around the world, it's safe to say that Green Day owned 1994.

That’s an oxy moron; well Green Day felt that way too.

LOL IS OXYMORON ONE WORD OR AM I JUST STUPID.

Bammies, Grammy’s, and much much more; Green Day conquered the awards for Rock in 94’ and 95’.They were nominated for four Grammy’s and they won “Best Alternative Group Performance.” As if winning a Grammy isn’t enough, they also got to take home some Bammies (now know as the Californian Music Awards) Those awards included Outstanding Album, Outstanding Group, Outstanding Bassist, and Outstanding Drummer. They won the MTV Music Video of the year award with Basketcase.

The album consists of 14 tracks, plus the hidden track, “All by My self ”.

They won countless awards in rolling Stone, it was unreal.

Caps rly.

Billie Joe summed it up the best when he said, “This isn’t peace its fucking anarchy!”

Well, who ever thought a small crowd would show up must have been under a rock for the past 9 months, at least 100,000 people showed.

Whoever?

Once the situation became unsafe, the show was canceled.

Diffidently not!

Should that be like, definitely or what omg.

Besides all the Chaos of 1994,

Caps.
