Does anyone know how to spell "there" and mean "there"? Does anyone know how to spell "their" and mean "their"? One is an adverb, pronoun or noun and only occasionally an adjective. The other is an adjective only and refers to an indefinite third person antecedent.







THEY ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE!!!





So stop mixing their use, please.


There, I got that off my chest.

Fuad,

I think you want to go to the Home Video section of the forum.

They will be able to help you there. Their knowledge is quite extensive. They're always willing to help.

Small successes...

'Hey little girl is your dad a gnome, Only 3 feet tall left you all alone...'

Or someother misheard lyric.

"The ants are my friend is blowing in the wind, the ants are is blowin' in the wind..."

I thought Bob Dylan was just totally zoned out when he wrote those lyrics!

Right?!?!

And I love it when somebody writes, "I would of" instead of "I would have"...

Now wait a minute. I happen to have a clearly defective keyboard which will mess with "difference" every time I type it. I type "difference" and it puts out "difefrence". There is nothing I can do except take a paper towel and clean it up. I'd shoot it, but I love it so.

Jan,

Glad to see you're a fellow grammar n?zi.

The travesties inflicted upon the English language in our modern society sicken me like grainy treble.

Of course, if you are going to be coarse on the golf course, you'll need to take a course in etiquette, in due course, otherwise you'll find yourself alone in discourse.

That sort of travesty?

Nah; more like incorrect use of "your" vs "you're", the various forms of "there", atrocious spelling, total lack of punctuation, etc. etc.

Now, maybe some just aren't too skilled in the use of language, but many others just don't try.

MR, don't get your knickers in a bunch or we'll recommend that you take your pants off, which ain't trousers, you know.

Then, we must address Jan's fans who don't write or type with both hands and commonly mistake tomatos for tomatoes and think they've got potatos when they've got potatoes. Green eggs and ham, I've got naught, but I was well taught by teachers who kept fixin' my ain'ts with oughts.
