| 550997 | 2007-05-19 03:54:00 | In light of recent posts I deem this thread necessary. If you disagree, have a cry or do whatever makes you feel better, or just don't read it. They're means "they are" Their is possessive. There means a place. They're driving their car over there. Your is possessive. You're means "you are" You're your only friend. It's means "it is" or "it has" only. For the rules on using the apostrophe, see Bob the Angry Flower's Quick Guide to the Apostrophe, You Idiots. (www.imagef1.net.nz) (39 KB) Would of is WRONG. It's "would have" The same applies to could, should, etc. That is all. |

| 551003 | 2007-05-19 06:45:00 | In the Chat Forum I do not mind. I can usually understand but not always. The purpose of language is to communicate. There are times where I do not understand the question. |

| 551006 | 2007-05-19 08:07:00 | Roddy should realise that criticism of spelling and bad grammar (on this forum) is a waste of time, laudable though the aim may be. These subjects do not appear to be taught in schools these days, or, if they are , then not very effectively, and it appears to be bad form for teachers to attempt correction. We have the spectacle of the NZQA condoning the use of 'txt' language in certain circumstances in exams: tvnz.co.nz On the radio this morning a woman author (ie an "authoress" :) ) who had written a book about the South Pacific and its cultures, rabbiting on about culcha. If people talk like this then eventually they are going to spell as they talk, so 'would have' becomes 'would've' becomes 'would of' and so on. They then cannot see what is wrong. |
