sorry man. i got the feeling, 'had to let it all out. i figure if i make all my mistakes here where no one can see them, then i won't make them out in the important threads.

extending this... wouldn't it be great if you could make all your 'life mistakes' in one room? ha ha ha. i'd be all like...

"DON'T FUCKING GO IN THERE!!!!"

A typo is when you hit the wrong keys accidentally - that I don't mind. Bad grammar is another story. Bad punctuation is the one that drives me mad though, especially the "floating apostrophe". I see it all the time on signs, vans and in newspapers. Fish ‘n chip’s

dilemma. means 2 equally unappealing options, hence 'on the horns of a dilemma'. doesnt work applied to "will i have a burger or a new shoe horn". bastids.

I'm an English teacher so I'm constantly looking at bad grammar and really poor spelling. The following things wreck my head, especially when native speakers fuck them up,and that is problems with It's and its or they're/their/there.it wrecks the noggin.

I've become more understanding about these mistakes since I've discovered I make them myself now and then, despite knowing the difference between it's and its. I'll still rip the unmerciful piss out of anyone who does make these mistakes however (howzat for a fabulous sentence mister english teacher?).

Press releases are great for spelling mistakes. I've been meaning to start a collage of all the best PR fuck-ups. One of my favourites was a press release from a record company on the Dandy Warholes. !ninjaaaa

Nice point Frona.

The folks I supervise at work are finally (after three years of correction) starting to understand the difference between been and being.

How did that English lesson miss an entire generation?

Its shocking. College graduates, professionally qualified officers of the state, submitting reports to the High Court!

(Did I get the Its right?)

every time i see "i could of" instead of "i could have" or "i could've" i want to kill everyone in a 30 yard radius. i lead an insular life, as you might imagine.

YES YES YES!!!!

I have one thing I say wrong all the time and would appreciate any help in correcting it.

Its a southside of Chicago thing...and I heard myself say it on the radio last week and almost died.

I often say 'anyways' rather than the correct 'anyway.'

Anyways is not correct is it?

 

[roxy]

Anyways is not correct.

It's either

- inanyways

or

- anywaysies.
