£5 says you ran that through a spell checker.

Ah, fair enough

Though, I THINK you needed to add "have" after "I" in the sentence in question. "I have won" not "I won." I'm not 100% on that, however. It just doesn't seem right to me...You can't say "I eaten," so I don't think you can say "I won." You could say "I win," just like you can say "I eat."

Actually, the term "I won" is correct. In the instance you provided, the speaker would change the words to "I ate".

Do not challenge the grammar Nazi.

I'm sure if I were an English major I could find SOMETHING to nit-pick. But, alas, I'm not.

No apostrophe in "didnt".

And no comma after "yes." Its an interjection (Right? I get the terminology mixed up occasionally ) so joo gotta put ur coma.

At least you don;t use 1337 speak. I'd have to cry.

In this case it seems more of an exclamation. So there should be an exclamation mark after the "YES" and the "I" would be the start of a new sentence.
