I moved the "of" in the sentence.

So eventually, I started to lose faith... I thought you had been killed in that terrible, terrible war. Or maybe that you had forgotten about me. It's been so long, you probably found another girl over there... I never stopped loving you, but I didn't think you cared about me anymore, so welcoming you back just would have been too painful for me... I'm sorry. I'm glad you've come back home *sniff*
Re: IPA Apprentice: Team Impossible Cash
Could be rewritten several ways including:(Silver got a 4/5 on the exam
"Silver got a four-fifths on the exam"
"Silver got a 4/5ths on the exam"
"Silver got a four out of five on the exam"
"Silver got an 80% on the exam"
Re: IPA Apprentice: Team Impossible Cash
Silver, I think you're either going to have to end this or give me permission to double post answers since no one else has found anything for ages.

Re: IPA Apprentice: Team Impossible Cash
Welll, my solution to this situation was going to be to give hints... unfortunately, I was unable to do so regularly during my time away from Compy. So what I'm gonna do is make the seven remaining mistakes a bit more obvious, and give you guys until the end of the week to fix them. Double posting... will be allowed, but there has to be at least two hours between them.
In the first paragraph, there's still a comma missing in the second sentence and in the last sentence. Toward the end of the paragraph there's a fragment - which we could debate was used for effect, but sounds better if it's made into a full sentence - and a word that's... technically not a word. Or at least, we weren't allowed to use it in AP English. I mean, I use it all the time, and I'm probably not gonna stop, but...
In the second paragraph, there's a comma missing, a sentence ending in a preposition, and then a run-on sentence towards the end.

"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

I was gonna go for more of a Marik thing anyway, hence the name change to Steve.

Re: IPA Apprentice: Team Impossible Cash
Watching you guys suffer is what I live for.
In this sentence, for is a preposition, though I'm not sure how I'd replace it.
...I live to watch you guys suffer?

Looks like Silver made an ACTUAL typo.
Do I get points? Or do I have to correct it. If so, I call it. It's mine to correct.
Actual correction:

"Gonna" needs to be changed to "Going to"?
