Why is Snow unable to insert "Us" in a grammatically sound position of a short phrase?  Is it that hard?

Ha!  I totally agree.  I loved Stephen Colbert's little mockery of Tony Snow on his show this evening for pointing that out.

So are you the deer or the headlights, since obviously you aren't human?\n\nDumb? the word "your" and the contraction "you're" are not interchangable.

just get rid of the John and if the sentence makes sense use it\nfor example\nJohn and me went to the store.\nnot right\nbecause me went to the store makes no sense.\nJohn and I went to the store is correct.\n\nbut you would say me if it was the direct object of a verb. for example, the car hit john and i is incorrect,\nbecause the car hit i is gibberish.  the car hit me is correct. so the car hit john and me is correct.

British punctuation has always been like that.  When did Americans start putting punctuation inside quotations when the punctuation doesn't belong to the quotation?  That's always seemed weird to me!

Technically, a preposition is supposed to precede a subject. However, there are some cases where inserting the preposition into the sentence rather than at the end would sound horribly awkward. Such grammatical finickiness has been relaxed in the last 50 years as more speech is considered on the level of community consensus of the utterance.

This is fine as it is. The few grammatical mistakes that there are just aren't worth correcting.\nGood job, and good luck on your speech!

something is wrong with the sentence structure.

Substitute "I" for "we". Each of us has to do our part. Does my little bit help? You bet! If enough of us do our part to protect the environment then "we" can make a difference. But it begins on a personal level. With "I".

Dude, let me know when you figure this out.  I'm also dying to know.  Is it really so hard to hit an extra two keys when typing words like "are" or "you?"

Could be your lack of punctuation.

The sentence "I watched figure skating yesterday." is just fine.  Well, done.  Don't listen to all the other people that want you to change it to make it all complicated and serious sounding, they're just trying to sound intelligent.  There's absolutely nothing wrong with writing simple sentences when you're just learning a language.\nWhat is you first language anyway?  You seem to know English pretty well so far.

I'm so sorry that you would be so aggrieved by the lack of sentential correctness, in others' contributions. There are several reasons why it should be so, namely (but not exhaustively): \n\n1. the contributor is foreign and is not writing in their native tongue\n2. they were improperly or incompletely taught\n3. they have difficulty typing\n4. they suffer from a malady (e.g. dyslexia)\n5. they have little regard for convention\n6. they are excited by the prospect of interacting with the outside world - and hurry too much, to post their efforts\n7. they are anxious to convey meaning, with scant concern for its delivery\n8. as a global medium, the internet has effected a change in the English language by exposing it to the influence of the world\n9. the use of a continually evolving jargon e.g. from LOL to LMAO to ROFLMAO or from <GRIN> to :)\n10. the use of regional/national idiosyncrasies e.g. "I'm p*ssed!", in American English, has different meaning; here in the UK.\n\nOne should also consider that what constitutes Standard English (and its associated spelling and syntax) also varies, from one instantiation to another, around the world. \n\nWere I, truly, cognisant of your frustration (and douleur thus engendered) I should not, perhaps, have sought occasion to write in such formal fashion. It has been, most certainly, a divertissement and I pray you also found it thus.

I know you're going to hate me for pointing this out, but either one is grammatically correct. There is no right or wrong here. It's simply a question of degree. To what degree has your optimism impacted you? What are you really trying to say? Your intent will determine which word you choose. Say each one out loud and go with the one that feels right for your intended message.\n\nAnd by the way -- it's "moments like these WHEN" (not where).

It's not grammatically wrong, but it is long and awkward. The double "to" is a grammatical error--or more like a typographical one. Otherwise, it's an issue of style.

your shorthand leaves something to be desired, please clarify conditions to get an answer

I agree with the "you're" and "your" response. I even asked a question about that one. Other common ones: there, their, and they're or it's and its. Another one I see quite often that I find humorous is the confusion of "lose(r)" and "loose(r)."\nIt's especially funny when someone says, "your a looser."\nOkay, maybe not to everyone, but it is to me. :o)\n\nOh, how could I forget too, two, and to?

I think this is a case of a writer, or his editor, searching for a word and not coming up with the word he intended. I think he was looking for "tapped," which can mean selected, but his mind gave him "tabbed" instead. It's not the making of a noun into a verb that is the problem. That's done all the time in informal English. It's just not a good word choice.
