Jeanway 0 Posted March 27, 2004 (edited) Just thought I'd let you all know. I, self appointed Head Cheese of the 'Grammar Police' will be cruising this site for spelling, grammatical and syntax errors. So don't be surprised if you hear sirens in the night, or daytime, and you're paid a little visit. I'm an idiot and do crazy stuff like this all the time, on my own time. Just remember to use SPELL CHECK. And if spell check messes up, I want to hear about that too. :wub: If this bothers you, direct all complaints to Fenriz 275. He suggested this office. This was HIS idea. I hereby absolve myself of any and all liability. :wub: Edited March 27, 2004 by Jeanway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jeanway 0 Posted March 27, 2004 U.H. and Ed, I believe 'you're' is a contraction meaning you are, and I dispute it. O.K.? You two want to be Deputies? I could use a hand in this job, there is a lot of work to do And Ed, since your my Big Brother, I like to keep things in the family. We need to discuss fines and trials for the worst offenders :wub: Please respond. Your Boss, Jeanway Out. P.S.

WEAREBORG4102 0 Posted March 27, 2004 In technicallity, Janeway is correct in her usage of the contraction "you're" as this is not a formal paper or another piece of formal writing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Theunicornhunter 2 Posted March 27, 2004 In technicallity, Janeway is correct in her usage of the contraction "you're" as this is not a formal paper or another piece of formal writing. But she didn't use the contraction you're she used your. English 101: your is a possessive as in your cat, your house, your momma you're is a contraction for you as in you're my brother, you're in trouble, if you're asleep Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shadowfigment 0 Posted March 27, 2004 Nothing wrong with the word "anywho" anywho used to indicate that a statement explains or supports a previous statement; "Anywho, he is dead now"; "I think they're asleep; anywho, they're quiet"; Happy? :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
