Do I employ the highest level of grammar on this website

Opinions?

If not me, than who?

Breaking the rule of thumb, one cannot claim themselves as #1 in grammatical imminence relative to this forum's user-base.

Sincerely though, does no one notice the way in which my vocabulary has developed to the extreme? Am I not able to recognize and therefore supremely utilize the minutiae of the English language?

Keep in mind this is an individual who was leagues behind almost everyone in the subject of English until his discovery of message boards.

My intent is to become an anomaly in the business success system of the world. Intelligence is a good tool in that respect.

I see what you did there.

You grammatically ****ed up in your third paragraph, and you also misused the term imminent, and you don't seem to know what minutiae means either.

Well at least you're trying.

Self-editing is an important a skill for real authors. Which is why they pay editors.

No, there were absolutely no errors made.

and you also misused the term imminent, and you don't seem to know what minutiae means either.

Imminence translates to; "first and foremost." There're multiple definitions to many words in the English language. Minutiae literally means small, or easily over-looked details pertaining to any subject. English included.

Well at least you're trying.

I suppose there is an argument to be had, that, since you use contentless sentences in a grammatically correct form at times, you employ grammar much more than anyone else on this site.

I don't remember a time when you did not write in the manner you do now. But if you had trouble before with grammar, I do think you are now writing, at the very least, sufficiently well. It is always hard to judge one's own ability, when it comes to language, as we don't know what we don't know, in essence we all suffer from the Dunning-Kruger effect. At least I know I do, I know Astner definitely does, and I think you do as well.

Off the top of my head, Digi is a superior writer to you. But in your defense, iirc, he is some sort of professional writer. Marius is another who has superior writing skills, at least to you. I'm sure there are others, just can't think of them at the moment.

As far as your claim in possessing an "extreme" vocabulary. I get the impression that you have some sort of 'word of the day' calendar of not commonly used words and then create threads for the sole purpose of using your 'new' word.

Best of luck though in achieving your "business success" 👆

Yes, I forgot about Digi. He's probably it.

You're okay.

I felt a disturbance in the Force.

*looks around*

Ah, thanks for the props. I try. Anyway...

Oneness, there are multiple errors that can be pointed out in your OP alone. Some grammatical, but many more in regard to the coherence of your language usage. But we've talked about your coherence - or rather, lack thereof - before. It's not worth reiterating, except to say that you ignored me on multiple occasions, proving that you're probably not worth our time.

The other point is that it doesn't matter. Someone is always better. That goes for everyone, in everything. You should spend less time talking about yourself like you're hot sh*t and more time focused on learning. Because what did you expect? An anonymous internet forum to grovel at your linguistic feet? This is all kinds of silly, though, sadly, par for the course per your posting habits.

I'm glad you think you've improved. I hope you continue to do so. But spare us your haughty diatribes.

Interesting thesis, but it kind of falls short when the individual in question has a Master's degree from one of the most prestigious programmes available.

I found your spelling of that word interesting because I recently read this article:

http://www.dailywritingtips.com/get-with-the-programme/

Some words, you use American English spellings. Other words, you use British English spellings: quite interesting. Why the linguistic amalgamation?

Internet posturing should be a sport.

Second, he wants to sound smart so he uses the British spelling.

A classic example of psuedo-intellectualism.

Allow me to explain, as I have the same problem:

In most Western European nations, schools teach their students to speak British English while the students themselves are more influenced by American music, television, films etc. This leads to constant mixing of American and British English, both in writing and pronunciation.

I do it for beauty.

Color > Colour

Armour > Armor

IMO anyway.

Everyone thinks they are more important than everyone else. Everyone believes that their problems are more important than other people's problems, that their jokes are better than other people's jokes, and that in general, they are much more concerned about themselves than they are with others. In fact, a lot of people believe that they make an impact or are relevant to other people, the truth is that no one is significant to anyone else any more than their own self.

In other words, we're too busy stroking our own egos to notice you Oneness. Stop trying.

That should be "then", not "than".

I don't know if using "cannot" instead of "can not" is technically improper but it sure is ugly. Stop doing it!

Sincerely though, does no one notice the way in which my vocabulary has developed to the extreme? Am I not able to recognize and therefore supremely utilize the minutiae of the English language?

There should probably be a comma after "recognize", as well as "therefore" IMO but using one there is technically speaking not necessary I don't think.

Can't see anything wrong here. Maybe a comma after "keep in mind" since I was taught to put a comma after transition words, but I'm admittedly not sure if that qualifies.

In general, I would recommend you cut down the super lulintellectual words like "imminence" or "minutiae". Having a large vocabulary is a good thing. However, when you hamfistedly shove esoteric and unusual words into your posts it makes it more awkward to read, and tryhardy.

Maybe Digi can spot more errors.
