Read a football forum and end up with an A Level in English.

Only on the Fishy.

(Is my grammer correct?)


Your grammar is OK but your spelling isn’t. 😆


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Quoted from RichMariner
I know this thread has gone vastly off topic, but just to add to the grammar stuff...

The thing I've learnt most over the years, as a writer and former pedant, is to either embrace things just let it go. Yes, there are times when grammar is totally incorrect, and there are spellings I don't personally like (the -ize instead of -ise at the end of words) but a message board isn't the place to pull people up over it.

I'm fascinated by language and how it evolves. The more flexible it is, the more of a future it has. People all around the world speak English — mainly because of our colonial history, but also because it allows us to be more expressive than other languages. That's its real strength.

Take away that ability to play with it, bend it, abuse the so-called rules and you're left with a structured language like Latin, which died off because it was never suitable for the way people would evolve to speak in the future.

The way we speak today is different from the way we spoke hundreds of years ago - even decades ago. Written language needs to evolve with it.

Remember when 'email' had a hyphen? Read a book that was written pre-1940 and 'today' was spelled 'to-day'. Anything that's currently hyphenated e.g. 'free-kick' will probably lose its hyphen in time, like 'straightforward'.


Or did Latin just evolve into Italian? Look at how English has changed over 1500 years. The Latin that the Church and other elites sought to preserve for universal use was arguably just a snapshot from a particular time. It’s be like trying to keep Old English alive.

Quoted from devs
Could of
Should of
Would of

NO!

Could HAVE
Should HAVE
Would HAVE

'going forward' - two utterly wasted words
EG: We are going to do this 'going forward' - well, when else would you do it?

Shop assistants: "Would you like a bag today?"
Me: "No - I'll struggle home with the shopping and come back for the bag tomorrow"

Loads more... rantings of a 60-year-old!


To that I will add:-

THERE- In that place.

THEIR- Belonging to them.

THEY'RE- They are.

They're there in their finery (other words are available).

I'm actually not very good at grammar, though I do try to get it right. Colon's, semi colon's and apostrophe's usually do for me, but then there is not much call for perfect grammar in the construction industry.

I've more than likely offended the grammar police with this post.
