miked10270 0 #28 August 15, 2002 Hmmm... English lessons from a Finn and an American. Since I am English I just thought I'd say "Ta very much Guv'nor, Ah'll just awa' oop the apples 'n' pears, git ma' dictionary, then it's tappy-lappy back doon to t' computor & we'll discuss this further". Any language is fluid, the vocabulary and grammar change through time. The important thing is to be understood and not to be a pedant, or is that pendant(?). Mike D01270.

PLFKING 4 #32 August 16, 2002 Quoteinvented to distinguish the Well Breed from the Unfortunates in a largely literate society. "I wot yer meant t'say 'illiterate society', eh, Guv'nor ?" Quote generally could care less about grammer? OR spelling.....but then, you've already established that ! Quote Are you following me around in the forums today? The good news is that HH is now famous enough to warrant his own stalker -- the bad news is it's a guy..... The errors that frost my balls.......effect vs.affect, further vs. farther, insure vs. ensure vs. assure, tenant vs. tenet, and the general abuse of apostrophes. MikeD10270......where the hell you been, man ? I've missed your bloody English ass ! (NOT "bloody English ass" as in " the blood-soaked posterior of a United Kingdom native" but "bloody" as in " a quaint but exceedingly strange Western European colloquilism"..... Welcome back !
