I asked this as a guest, but my post hasn't been up yet (they said within an hour). This is pretty urgent though, so I hope you guys don't mind if it comes up twice:

"But I sure was.... Just a little too slow on the draw this morning."

How many things are wrong with that sentence? Be very specific on what is wrong.

Hey Wushu, welcome to the forums!

Email problems are causing the 'Guest' account to lag.

"But I sure was.... Just a little too slow on the draw this morning."

IMHO:
-Starting with 'But' is bad form
-.... is terrible punctuation
-The sentence ends unexpectedly
-The last ‘sentence’ isn’t really formed correctly.

Do you mean?
“I was definitely a little too slow on the draw this morning!”

Thanks! I spend a lot of time in forums, and when school starts...probably even more at sites like this!

I didn't write the sentence. I was having a minor debate with someone on the problems with the sentence. He said there was nothing wrong, and I claimed that there was.

Thanks for settling itEmotion: smile
Well, it depends. If it's in a very informal setting, then it's fine. Where did you find this sentence?
I don't think I get the meaning of this sentence.

At a computer technology forum.

I think it would fit the more formal type of forum, since it is technology and not just a place for teenagers, or children to chat.
Then it is BAD. BAD BAD BAD. Yell at your friend for me.
