Can the title be changed to "Who's In and Who's Out For ME 3" (just for the sake of being grammatically correct)?

If you enlighten me O grammar god...on how to edit the topic title...Ill be more then happy to do so...

I don't know if you can do it without being a moderator or on a subforum you have admin privileges in, but edit the original post and use the full editor. Your friendly neighborhood moderator changed the title for you in any event.

And hooray for having Ashley back for ME3!

Ah gotcha...Must of missed that heh...

Beugh! Racist b*****.

Kill Ashley, get tolerant murderer Kaidan instead.

Knowing who can or can't write correct English helps build a personal scale for figuring out who is knowledgeable and who isn't.

But then again, I'm a dirty elitist, so...

Many people can write very eloquently without knowing anything about the subject.

Please don't tell me you're actually that shallow. Ashley makes it perfectly clear that her doctrine is one of self-reliance, not racism. She even openly hopes that Tali being along in ME1 will improve the Quarians' standing in the galaxy after one of their member helped save the day.

I'll second Tempest here.

Obviously there's no mathematical law that states that a text written in correct English will use correct facts and derive from those using valid reasoning; however, you *will* find a positive non-trivial correlation between the quality of the grammar, facts and reasoning in any large enough set of texts.

Oh, I'm sure there is one if the sample size is adequate. I just don't think overgeneralizing is a good idea due to the number of variables present e.g. the fact that for most people writing in a non-native language reduces their capacity to fully express themselves.

While this is a very interesting discussion, it's just a liiiittle off topic, guys.
