Not "was". Expressing desire or doubt, you know?

You take your subject and your predicate...mash 'em together...maybe throw in a modifier for good measure...and you've got some irrelevant shit that nobody cares about!

I think it's something like one human year = seven dog years. I can't remember. I think it jumps around.

no, that's the standard. 1 human year = 7 dog years.

I correct almost everything I say; the habit of revising is so deeply worn into my personality that I might lose myself if I became flawless. I correct others, as well-- primarily in my head, to avoid being rude (or appearing anal, which I almost certainly am), but I NEED to open my mouth sometimes. Plurals with apostrophes, possessives written as contractions (and vice versa)... these are the errors I cannot help but correct. A friend told me last night that he would not even notice my mistakes if I wasn't constantly red-flagging them with my self-criticism. I suppose in this way I am my own worst enemy. Then again, one would expect there to be more dangerous enemies than the anal blonde chick who won't shut up about objects of prepositions.

so, i was posting to this bulletin board, at http://vh.7dragons.net i was liking it there. they had some pretty cool topics. now the thing is set up like this Harry Potter type system, where the leaders are 'prefects.' everytime i'd post ANYTHING, some prefect would send me a angry note complaining about petty things- my grammar, mostly. when i asked them why, they decided i was disrespecting their authoritaah & banned me. banned me?? you ban someone. for spamming, say posting the same thing 900 times. or for stalking, say, writing 'jo is a ho.' after every post their ex makes. grammar, & daring to ask questions. respect needs to be earned. it's sad tho. there were a few really cool people in there i am going to miss.
