Lol, thanks for the vote of confidence, Amaury. But 'doing e'rrything all wrong' is actually in reference to my avatar. It's a line that the character says in the film, Les Mis.

Ah, okay.

Then shouldn't it be "Doing e'rrything wrong!"?

/grammar101 LOL

Eh, I guess so. The quote is taken from spoken discourse though, which allows for a certain amount of leeway in terms of correct grammar.

You could make a case for it if you were to say that the 'all' is a modifier of 'wrong'. Think of it this way: substitute 'all' for '100%' and say "[doing] [everything] [100% wrong]". Get it? (am i making a single shred of sense? derp)

No. :x

Now I was only joking, as I know grammar's not a big deal on the Internet, but you might as well explain it to me, because wouldn't "doing" still be capitalized? :x

Haha, sorry, you tapped in to my hidden linguistics nerd. I thought you were saying that 'everything' and 'all' together would be redundant.

Yeah, the 'D' should be capitalised, but that is a stylistic choice.

Silly-nilly.
