Shnate McDuanus Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 MUST...NOT...CORRECT...SPELLING AND GRAMMAR ERRORS... This thread has been really, really difficult on me. Especially because of the egregious misuse of apostrophes. Remember: If you want a noun to be possessive, use an s with an apostrophe. If you want to pluralize a noun, use an s with no apostrophe. For instance: 1. "Cindy had two apples." -Clearly, this refers to the number of apples owned by Cindy. -To write "Cindy had two apple's" would be incorrect. 2. "The biggest house on the block was Jim's." -This refers to the biggest house on the block, which belonged to Jim. The fact that it belongs to Jim makes it Jim's (with an apostrophe) house. -To write "The biggest house on the block was Jims" would be meaningless. 3. "Cindy's apples got moldy." -This here is a great example in which we have both cases in one statement. The apples belong to Cindy, so they are Cindy's (with an apostrophe) apples. There are two of them, so they are (without an apostrophe) apples. -You should never eat moldy fruit. ...*sigh* That felt good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riverside Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 You're also not allowed to post links to Russian pron sites until you have 10 valid posts. You're also not allowed to post things for sale in the Trading Post that you don't own, but well, you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damian Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 So, if Cindy's two apples left a train station at nine AM, and Mary's four oranges left the other train station at ten thirty AM, what time would the two trains cross paths ????? And if Cindy was late for work at the dictionary, would she owe her boss an apostrophe ??????? Are words pro-noun or anti-noun ??? If a verb falls in a forest, does anybody hear ??? Do nouns have adverb reactions to medication ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimbabig Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 ...*sigh* That felt good. I agree with what you're saying, but I am a bit more tolerant when the speaker's native tongues does not happen to be English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy R Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 While were at it... It's just regardless not irregardless - double negative it's just a water heater not a hot water heater. Why would you need to heat hot water? If anything it should be called a cold water heater. You don't unthaw or dethaw you just thaw something. To unthaw would be to freeze again. Ideal is not the same as idea! Shudder! Just to name a few... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems to be in vogue now, too. I'm not sure if it's a rule, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My opinion on that is they speak much better English than I do their language ( I don't know any second language) so at least they try. Most everyone else in the world can speak multiple languages at least to some degree. "lernt" there is a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stein Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 ok...you guys got this thread going all directions, so i will try my best: look guys, i can speak, i can spell, i can write. yes, good skills, and as was pointed out, there are some with adversities that may prevent them from having such as good of skills as another. you forgot TYPING. PERSONALLY, I suck at it. there is something about writing and the habit of writing where you feel the correct spelling coming out as you are writing, and the habit of spelling and writing is something we don't think about. for some reason, for me typing i don't see the misspelled words until reading, and ya'll don't know how many words even miss letters. my skills are such that to capitalize and go back and correct takes as long as writing, and you may also take for granted that everyone can type well. and, when writing, there is a flow sometimes you want to keep. it been a long time sinse this dog been in school. cut a guy some slack.

stein Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 i wasn't done... is this a spelling site? does the logo at the top say "grammar"? no, it does not. it says "gibson". so, lets talk about gibson grammar. is the dot on the "i" connected or separate? in which cases is it acceptable to omit the "i"? when is it appropriate to use cursive or print for a logo? then there is the issue of whether or not we are allowed to talk about the logo. it is protected by copyright, you know. patents and such. but if not here, where? where is the appropriate place to discuss such matters? i like to think, as a whole, gibson type folk are an honest crowd. i can say that in my short experience here, my impression of the poeple on this site are of the better people of society, as far as ethics and morals. that includes the moderaters. i'll be back, i gotta pee.
