Yeah the "subtle" part is probably your problem.

No, that sentence is legal. You're right, not the best use, should have been "People who talk on an anime forum about American Drama's" The way I worded it makes it sound like the the American Drama is hosted by the forum, but is not an illegal sentence.
The following proves why it is still valid:

This is also a valid statement. Grammar was properly used and the sentence is legal.

OnT:
I hate people who improperly use grammar, or for that matter, those who can't spell. I can forgive those who make an occasional mistake, but seriously, it's called laziness, not being able to read and write is not because you "physically can't", it's because you are too fucking lazy to learn. If you have a mental impairment, that is a little different, but I doubt most of the people I meet are mentally impare.. wait scrap that.

Also, I was not hating

I suppose the remark was aimed at the grammatically wrong apostrophe in American Drama's. Words are normally pluralized in english by simply appending s (or es, if the word ends with s, sh, z or x - houses, dramas, horses and so on), while the apostrophe is only used if you want to use the genitive which replaces one usage of the preposition of (the drama's main character - the main character of the drama, for example)

OnT: My hard disk (232 GB) is too fucking slow... Eraser is wiping it with a relatively insecure method (2 passes, forgot the algorithm's name), but it still takes forever ._.
I don't wanna know how long securely wiping my 3TB HDD would take...

This. American Drama's does not equal American Dramas.

What pisses me off today is work-related -- when I assign a task to someone and give them detailed and explicit instructions about something that needs to be done, I expect them actually read what I wrote and execute the task, not giving me fucking excuses why they didn't do it, for example -- that what I told them wasn't documented somewhere else they were looking. And, corollary to that, where this person thought the information should have been documented was not an appropriate place for it to be. I've been doing my job for almost 12 years, he's been doing his piece of the action for a year, two at the most... I'm pretty sure I know what the fuck I'm talking about at this point.

Well, at least that's consistent with the sentiment expressed in your signature. And you spelled "you're" correctly, which automatically makes you better than at least 50% of all English speakers on the Internet.

Finished walking dead today, and "suffered" through 11 episodes of emotional drama before it FINALLY took off with two very good episodes. Why, why did I have to wait soooooo long?!
It was, of course, good and well played, but if I want drama, I might as well watch "Grey's anatomy"!

The stuff that annoys me the most, is that the ending was so good, I'm actually looking forward to season 3. Which doesn't start airing before October. God damn.

Anime soundtracks (in this case the Bakemonogatari complete OST) which have fully Japanese tags, but encoded using some really weird ascii codepage so that not only can none of my media players read them properly, but nor can any of the UTF conversion programs I've tried either. It doesn't seem to be encoded in any standard Japanese codepage, and I even tried a few Chinese without any luck. Really bloody annoying.

My work. I've been doing this for 2 years now, and it's getting so annoying sometimes. I'll quit it until September. I just need to finish this one last project. Though I can't bear the thought of doing this for 20 more days.

Translations. From English mainly. And atm I translate Korean Historical Dramas for TV. I used to enjoy this, but it's really getting annoying with the time.

I can't wait for season three either lol. I felt the slow build-up of season two made the end that much sweeter (and bitter), but that cliffhanger...damn. That's why I try to avoid ongoing shows. Ugh.

Anyway, if you need something to watch while you wait for the season three premiere (October 14th), then check out Breaking Bad (also an AMC drama - AMC is the channel that airs Walking Dead) or Game of Thrones. If you already haven't seen them, that is.

Watched some of Breaking bad on tv, and ofc I have watched Game of thrones, just season 1 tho. Since I have read the books, I wasn't THAT happy with the casting, and they were kinda stiff in the acting in the beginning, but it got better in the end of the show. Gonna download season 2, I heard it was better than season 1. I'm very hard to convince when I have read the books before they make a movie or a tvserie out of something, since the "film" I have made in my mind while reading, is usually so much better;)

Like 80% of the members on another forum that I work on. They post dumb stuff and break the rules. Then when I lock their threads or ban them they get all crybaby defensive. Dont break the rules in the first place and that shit wont happen. I would have thought that was a simple concept. Guess not

So the A/C in my house failed today. Fun. Waiting until Monday afternoon for a technician to come out to the house. Hopefully, it won't be one of those, "Oh, yeah, here's the problem! I'll order the part tonight, we'll be back out next week." Fuuuucck.
