Today's grammar lesson: They're, Their, and There.

Recommended Posts

Hmmm... English lessons from a Finn and an American:P.

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(?).

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"..... :D Welcome back !
