Grammar

[rogerthomas]

Not specifically for this topic but it applies to all.

Please make your posts readable by using correct grammar. Remember, full stops break up sentences and make their meaning obvious.

Apostrophes are used to show possession and missing characters. They are not used to pluralise nouns.

Please learn the difference between there, their and they're.

When writing about something that belongs to more than one person, use 'our' not 'are'.

Please, please, please don't use text writing.

The word etcetera is abbreviated to etc. not e.t.c.

I could go on but I think you've got the point. Language is power - use it correctly.

No, not strangely silent, just watching you lot get wound up. Face it, you know I'm right, you just can't admit it. As for this crap that some people do not know good grammar and I should just accept it, well I'll make this analogy.

If someone came on here and told me that two plus two was five, I would't just accept it because they were obviously bad at maths. I would correct them in the hope that they would learn and not make the same mistake again.

So don't forget. Good grammar shows intelligence, bad grammar shows a lack of it.

I agree, but do you have to be so pompous about it? You're not in the classroom now, you know!

[rogerthomas]

Of course I have to be pompous about it, because it winds up people like you.

ok, you've made your point, you hate to see incorrect grammar. End of.
