  It's a disgrace to the system that these guys are still around. How long does it take to stop such an obvious crook from creating new fraudulent lawsuits in plain site of everyone?

  So I guess they will go down to the bitter end until it becomes clear that no judge will hear them, that could take some time though, it is a big country with thousands of venues.

  Re: Re:

  Or until they threaten to dethrone Jonathan Lee Riches from the Guinness Book of World Records naming him as the person who has filed the most lawsuits in the history of mankind (which he filed an injunction to prevent). Once he sues Righthaven, then they'll be finished for sure.
  
  I believe a court case like that would fall under the old "immovable object meets the unstoppable force" rule, or if you prefer it in simpler terms... "dumb and dumber".

  Re: - it's seventh so far

  It's not missing an apostrophe, it's missing a "the" as in "it's the seventh so far".

  Re: - it's seventh so far

  it's seventh so far
  
  "it's seventh so far" would be "it is seventh so far".
  
  "its seventh so far" means "the seventh, so far, that 'belongs to' it."
  
  Mike's grammar was 100% correct. No apostrophe or "the" needed. Perhaps you should look at this:

  No apostrophe: there's no contraction implied there. Its is possessive.

  Errors

  In the story: "latest loss -- it's seventh so far", "it's" should be "its". The possessive pronoun "its" does not have an apostrophe.
  
  In the comment: "fraudulent lawsuits in plain site of everyone", "site" should be "sight". Please check your dictionary.

  Re: Errors

  How do you know it's got an extra apostrophe and not missing a "the" as in "It's the seventh". But really, it's pretty entertaining to see your only way to be critical is to focus on some simple grammar errors. :) Says a lot.

  Re: Re: Errors

  Says even more that people are willing to display their ignorance and/or laziness by failing to either use correct grammar or take advantage of existing technology to check their grammar.

  Re: Re: Re: Errors

  That's a very strong message, coming from an AC whom we know almost nothing about.
  
  and who are you, and where are your other posts, that we may scrutinize your grammar?

  Re: Re: Re: Re: Errors

  It's amazing how this AC holds MM to the high standard of providing absolutely perfect grammar but then he provides us with no way of holding him to any standards whatsoever (ie: he denies us the ability to identify him). I wonder why ...

  Or, he pointed out an error or two so they could be corrected and someone is being mister crankypants for no apparent reason.

  Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Errors

  His post doesn't even point out an error, it simply calls Mike either ignorant or lazy for simply making a typo. Pointing out an error would be something simple like
  
  "x" should have been "y"
  
  not what he wrote.

  He's actually praising Mike for the correctness of his post because it was the only error he could find. :)

  Re: Re: Re: Errors

  Seriously, correcting a spelling mistake made by someone in a blog post comment is one thing (pointless IMO but hey), but to follow up that correction with an even more pointless series of insults reveals your motive quite clearly.

  Re: Errors

  I find it amusing that Righthaven has become such a joke, and is apparently so irrelevant and uninteresting, that replies to an article on them focus on the article's grammar content and have little to do with the article or Righthaven.
  
  "What was that? Was that an article about Righthaven lossing again... whatever... but look at this one tiny tidbit of grammatical inconsistency"
  
  LOL

  Wow thinks are really looking bad when you loose ex-parte decisions after they have been granted.
  
  Righthaven is still blazing that trail by setting their arse on fire I see. ;)
