LynnF Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Ummmm....if you can't spell Grammer then you shouldn't be in charge of grammar. Maybe we should make you the spelling police. Oh wait....reference earlier sentence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rickleblanc Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Hey SJW, if you're the Grammar Police, why don't you go back and correct the mistakes in your first post on this thread? Also, you point out that "YOUR" is possessive, but are you sure it's not perfect possessive? And could you please explain the difference between possessive and perfect possessive for us poor laymen? All in good fun. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People need two smarten up in fli write... ya its also been noted that engish is the most simple and yet complicated language on the planet. There(their) are too many words that sound the same yet have to many opposite meaning. Like you said TWO,TO.TOO.Hey how many words in FF are the same single and spey. Not close. Think we should make our own universal language and have one word BAW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
