I'm sure you're making a point; but I'm not sure what your point is...
I think you need to get your head checked. You're not making sense.
finally... someone who feels the same way about grammar!!
Your right, tech_guy! You're link was most insightful :)
You leave my grammar out of this, she's a fine lady! :lol:Quote:

Your taking the p*ss now - it's's not funny!
:-)
Spelling/grammar errors do annoy me in general, but the misuse of your/you're bugs me far more than most others do - using apostrophes to pluralise things really gets me too.
There's a pub near me which has a sign outside saying talking about the "wine's and beer's", and another saying "all major credit cards excepted" - shouldn't that be "accepted"?! I don't know if the signs reflect the quality of the pub....
no Really, your not funny. I think the point is that some people dont no how to right properly and that can be a little bit annoying if your the sort of person hoo cares about grammer, or spelling :)
I care, I really, really do :D
They don't... there are some mighty fine pubs near me and none of them write properly. Maybe it's a sign of a good pub?Quote:

Again on a proper professionally-made sign, a garage near me advertises that they sell strater motors - I might buy one, as my car would appear not to have one...
