Post It's Through, not threw

I hate when people correct my grammar, but I've read this mistake way too many times. I only want to help my fellow Lightning Bretheren.

Threw = to have tossed/thrown something.

Through = Among or between; in the midst of
or: In one side and out the opposite or another side of

as in through the tunnell.

I want us to have better grammar than chevy and Dodge guys...we already have the better trucks
...

I chuckle every time I see someone write "bare with me" instead of "bear with me".

Spelling and tenses, the essentials of proper grammar. Syntax.....what's that.

It disheartens me to hear the young speak the way they do, but.....I also remember my parents saying the same thing.

Maybe they'll come around.

Check out the Saleen conversation and tell me what "is are" should be.

Is our.

NOW you're seeing the point.

Question

"All your base are belong to us..." I keep hearing that. What exactly is it? I heard it came from a video game somewhere.
