An English Lesson

[CHAPPERS]

You shouldn't start a sentence with 'so', and there's definitely no need for FOUR exclamation marks at the end.

Don't you mean, 'So is a word that should not be used at the start of a sentence!!!!'.

 

[Mad Gerald]

Would would've be an acceptable alternative?

Now you're asking a serious question there. It would have been acceptable to me and that is all that matters really.

 

[Willow]

I so don't like it when people misuse the work so.

 

[Mad Gerald]

I so don't like it when people misuse the work so.

What about the way the Irish use it at the end of their sentences so?

One that annoys me is Satdee or satadi, for Christ's sake this is one of the first things you are taught at school.

[tedebear]

[jonnyboylennon]

Don't get Artois started on 'sentance' construction.

What a f***ing GOON

 

[triptolemus]

Whose got a fine toothcomb so I can split my hare ?

 

[marvin]

Of when they mean off

 

[Titanic]

Split your hare ? are you planning to jug it ?

 

[triptolemus]

No matter how often I split hares, I still find I need big jugs.

 

[Jambo Seagull]

A classic was when Paul Lambert left Borussia Dortmund. He carried a banner saying "Thank you, Fan's". WTF?

 

[Brovion]

"Giant kid's playground". Well no one will go in that. What if the giant kid turns up?

 

[The Large One]

Sorry Bozza, it's about time I mentioned the apostrophe.

 

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

Does it matter how people type

Sorry guys, your use of our lovely language is terrible. So here is a quick lesson in the usage of some common words:

there = over yonder
their = belonging to
they're = they are

your = belonging to you
you're = you are

too = aswell
to = do I have to explain this one

no = see to
know = having knowledge

These are not dictionary definitions, but you should get the general idea. I now expect perfectly written posts from you all!!!!

No one is perfect. If they was then the world would be a boring and a depressing place.

Thats what makes NSC so great, We all come from all walks of life........Rich......Poor....intellectual.....not so bright when it comes to grammer....Who cares ? Everyone knows what the post means , So whats the problem ?

One that annoys me is Satdee or satadi, for Christ's sake this is one of the first things you are taught at school.
Its Saturday.

Isn't it "It's Saturday" Locky as the two words are it and is, with an apostrophe indicating contraction?

 

[The Large One]

We know no-one is perfect, but a little effort in learning your primary language would go a long way to eradicating the notion that modern society is completely illiterate.

If we do not use punctuation correctly, what is the point of having an English language? We might as well communicate by grunting.

It's not that difficult, really. All you have to do is think a bit.

 

[north stand falmer]

If we do not use punctuation correctly, what is the point of having an English language? We might as well communicate by grunting.

what is the point ? Everyone I speak to doesn't speak proper English and speaks slang. And that goes for the well educated people as well.

If everyone on here had to speak perfect English then NSC might as well close down.

Some of us still do, you not seen a teenager recently?

Recently had to interview for an admin asst the main role of the job was to do minutes of public meetings.

Part of the interview process was to complete a test which comprised correcting the English in a page of text and to put it into a minute format.

Not one managed to do this, most not changing There to Their where appropriate and we had a sentence which contained, had had, and no one corrected that and no one understood what minute format was.

Now, I consider myself really poor at English but I knew the answers.
