your s/b you're and copy s/b copying

and it's not really a complete sentence as written. The following would be better.

"If you're considering copying and pasting your latest drive by spam here because you cant find any other place, DON'T!"

That AND it's drive-by spam not "drive by".

Do I win? Do I win?

We have two winners so they'll have to split the prize.

The correct answers were:

You're
copying
drive-by
incomplete sentence

Now, as soon as they build a Krispy Kreme in Oviedo, I'll let the winners know so they can collect their prize.

no offense, but if you can't spell doughnut, then the rest is moot.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doughnuts

and I should know. You guys are amateurs

Per capita, Canadians (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada) consume the most doughnuts in the world, and Canada also has the most doughnut stores per capita

Canadians prefer cake doughnuts only because they taste better with beer.

yeah, but you have to make them right so they fit on our stubbies and don't absorb too much of the flavor out of our back bacon, eh?

Toronto is an old indian word. In Iriquois it means "Land of a thousand doughnut shops"

I know full well how to spell doughnuts but many doughnut shops spell it donut. Have you ever heard of Dunkin Donuts (https://www.dunkindonuts.com/)?

As for arguing with you about how great donuts are in Canada, sorry but you're not going to troll me into that argument. I like Krisypy Kremes, if you don't I don't really care.

Yeah, they are big in Manila. A bastion of the English language.

sorry but you're not going to troll me into that argument.
I already did.
