Frosties, have you spotted your error yet? (There's more mileage to be had from this yet... )
I two yoosed to bee pedantique abought grammer & spelling !Seriously though, language is constantly evolving and changing-just look at the way people spoke/wrote 100/200/300 years ago.Was taught English grammar in the 50s & 60s-find it difficult to have a conversation with some modern kids with their excessive use of "like" & "innit"
Surely Yoda isn't the best person to be giving advice on grammar.
Quote from: risticuss on 18 July 2014, 01:01:51 pmSurely Yoda isn't the best person to be giving advice on grammar. Use an apostrophe-s to denote a plural do you? Teach you we shall. Clear the rules are. To indicate the possessive or contraction it is used only. Required apostrophes are not when you want to pluralise.

My pet hate hates are: 'I seen', 'I done' and the excess use of 'basically' Nick, looks like you will have to give Frosties a course in English grammar correction.
