"What? I didn't know that." post of the day awards

[Eric]

I was wondering if anyone could volunteer to prowl the forums for interesting posts by our members everyday, or atleast on a regular basis, and at the conclusion of the day, nominate a certain post by a user to be the bearer of the "What? I didn't know that." award and send the poster a healthy sum of GC$ as a reward for his originality.
We can decide the amount of GC$ to be awarded later. I just want to know the opinion of the general populace. Do you guys like the idea?

Something similar was discussed once before so I'll be happy to go along with it, it would encourage more people to post more original and quality posts.

No it wasn't, be quiet! Now give me GC$500 for winning the award.

You haven't won nothing yet. :P

I said similar, not exactly a like, what I meant is like when we discussed a poster of the month thing that never happened.

Dude, it's not the same thing. You're making me angry.
Anyways, your first sentence is invalid.
The correct form is: "You haven't won anything yet!"

I know but I felt like saying something different, anyway do you fowl to see that I seem to be the only body apart from you who has said ok to it!

You're making me angry due to your sorry excuse for English. Anyways, thanks for agreeing with me, soldier.
I guess we're a two-man army in this big war, eh?

I guess.

ps. Instead of criticising my English and saying that haven gone to Spain and not written a lot of English for nine years, is no excuse, shouldn’t you be correcting me on my spelling mistake so I learn my errors, like wise I would also like to learn new languages if anybody would like to help me go ahead and be my guest and I’ll help them what I can with English or Spanish.

This isn't English class. If your post is readable, I do not care. I respect the fact that some people haven't been around English as much as others, and they may not be as good. Having said that, I do not claim to be an English teacher, but believe that it is in your best interests if I correct your previous post. I'm sure Eric will find mistakes within my editing, but I'm just trying to help (you asked for it!).

Thanks Justin,

Reading back at my last post I see all the mistakes I've made and I can’t believe there's so many and that the post is overall quite hard to read.
