By the way, Duvi it just came to me what the both of us joining the same month means. You have way too many posts. Slow down man. I won't even go into the whole mod thing right now.
Okay, carry on with the grammar class everyone. Enjoy. No chalk screeching on the chalkboard please.

I cringe when I see double negatives on CB, but this is my time to relax and gain knowledge on BBs. Not, however, to correct the numerous grammatical errors that I see here on an hourly basis. If I did, I would be far more crazy than I already am.
In effect, "Blackberrys" is the correct plural form; I am not offended by the usage of "Blackberries" instead. Please try not to use "Blackberry's" as the plural form. Pretty please. And, finally, like Duvi, I just use the term "BBs" when I am on Crackerry.com.

It's actually BlackBerry Smartphones
Because BlackBerry is a trademarked word, you can't even add an S to it to make it BlackBerrys (it's DEFINITELY not BlackBerries).
So really, you should always re-write what you say so you can use BlackBerry Smartphones.
Of course, that's kinda bunk... so people can't do whatever they want!
there's actually an article on RIM's website that outlines their rules on this.03-01-09 09:12 AM - Ah yes. You see. This is why you do not have grammar discussions on CB.Wow..just saw this thread... even Sith is wrong here!

Kevin, can you believe this thread came back to life after all this time? I will stick with my use of BBs thank you very much.

I'm sorry though, I do see it as a big deal - spelling and grammar, etc., as I said [sic] in my first reply. I think it's a matter of politeness.I agree with you of course.
