Sorry to single you out Woody, but this use of your gives me the complete shits!

You're = you are
You're going to drive your car.
Your is ownership of something by you.

I'm on a few forums, and I really have to stop myself from telling everybody off for murdering the english language!

Ok, end of rant... :beer

You forgot he wrote "then" instead of "than". but i think he wrote that sentence that way on purpose!

I work in a school and i've noticed that when it comes to spelling, you've either got it or you don't. Alot of the teachers spelling's terrible, their little posters and signs about math, english or religion have spelling errors ALL the time. I can spell pretty good, but when I was little (8) I often wrote the wrong to and where. Compare our english today to our founding fathers lol.

And I hate it when women say they want "to make love".
The correct term is "Fuck". Men can say it right, why cant women?
End of my input :D

Haha I love the edit feature on posts :D

I was writing a long post just before, and kept going back and fixing all my grammar, cos it was bugging me, must have re-edited that post about 10 times.
So finding this post now shortly afterwards, I don't feel so picky editing my post until it was right now!
And I dun A+'s in Inglish at school too! Hated it untill year 12, then got one good teacher, and made it worthwhile.

[ooops just made another edit to this post too]

Well it's not that hard to fix the spelling mistakes in forums.. just use a decent web browser with a spelling check.. (using Firefox with spell checker add-on)


I'm not a native English speaker and suck at Dutch spelling as well so why not use a computer to fix your spelling :D
