There, they're, and their.

Has anyone mentioned this one yet, "Paul and me went ...."

Who is teaching English out there?

Sorry I could care less about proper grammar as long as I can understand what the person is trying to get across I'm happy.

Our monkey ancestors communicated quite well by grunting at each other. Perhaps history will repeat itself. After all, who wants to be bothered by all that high brow simple linguistics bullshit. And we can reinvent the wheel while we're at it. Ignorance is bliss... be happy in your work.

 

[gonner]

ever notice how many people substitute "are" for "our"?, ie "thats are stuff" I hear news announcers do it all the time,

gwar'

That is just a good Southern accent! (you will notice I am in and am from the South)

"Up" is not a verb. It is a direction. I am not going to "up" the price, I'm going to raise the price.

 

[Tom Brennan]

"Interconnect" isn't a noun but "patch-cord" is.

Good one John, thank you.

 

[Grainger49]

I just saw the local news banner use "there" instead of "their." Sad!

But, but...

Please...don't say "breaks" when you mean "brakes" or "peaked" when you mean "piqued," please.

Or "humbled" when you mean "honored."

I don't know about your Spanish but, your Français is very good.
Peut-être que c'est la même chose que 'Mon Dieu' can be translated in English, and I'm sure you already know that, as 'My God' meaning that you are very surprised of what you just seen or heard. If a French speaking person use it twice as 'Mon Dieu! Mon Dieu!' something terrible as just happened. Spanish speaking people might have something very similar while expressing themselves.:yes:

When something terrible happens here in the USA, we just say, Oh ****!

 

[tboat4]

Please don't use "irregardless" because it isn't correct, regardless of what you've heard.

 

[John James]

Co-conspirator?

Isn't the "co" already there?

 

[colortrakker]

"peaked" when you mean "piqued," please.

Or when you mean peeked.

 

[kcollins4]

"Wala" is not a french word which means "behold". "Voila" is though.

 

[merrylander]

The one that still gets me is the use of 'you' when they mean 'your'.
