There're...what a retard form of apostrophisation

Funny how you typed out that whole post with proper English as well, wouldn't have warranted the use of a semi-colon there though.

Not really, I'd always write it like that...

What's more I believe my use of a semi-colon was justified, the second clause was not of sufficiently different subject matter to warrant a full stop and I felt something more 'meaty' than a comma was called for.

cheddar cheese · 04-19-2006, 11:12 AM

It's the same topic as the first clause

Pisis · 04-19-2006, 11:38 AM

In previous my post, I can see only one mistake...

What's the 2nd one, give me a clue.
EDIT: OK, shouldn't it be "What is this country?"

cheddar cheese · 04-19-2006, 11:44 AM

I can only see one too...

What is that country is fine. The one I see is "I bet one of this" should be "I bet one of these"

the lancaster kicks ass · 04-19-2006, 11:48 AM

read the first two lines, and see how natural it feels to say......

and what's the mistake you've noticed pisis? if it's the same as CC's observation well done

i noticed you'd all started typing properly now so i thought i'd be a bit of a bender... of the current situation you understand.......

cheddar cheese · 04-19-2006, 11:51 AM

I always type properly

It doesnt feel natural and I thought it was wrong too, but on further inspection I think its technically fine.

the lancaster kicks ass · 04-19-2006, 11:54 AM

if the bit that doesn't feel natural is the same bit i'm looking at, it is a technical mistake.......

cheddar cheese · 04-19-2006, 11:57 AM

"the fights will be very much equal"?

The only way I can think would be the fights will very much be equal, but its fine either way.

the lancaster kicks ass · 04-19-2006, 11:58 AM

that's poor english but isn't a technical mistake, think back to what you were taught about making lists........

Pisis · 04-19-2006, 12:24 PM

Yeah, I know it should read "one of these".

Quote:

Furthermore Pisis I suggest

OK and shouldn't this be "Furthermore, Pisis, I suggest..."?

Don't have no clue.

you could get away with the second comma but cirtainly not the first, although my version is equally correct.........

and when making a list like you did "Brazil, Czecho, Holland, Germany, Italy, France" the last item in any linear list such as this should always be preceeded by "and" not a comma, it should read "Italy and France" small but important

and why the hell are we still arguing about this

Pisis · 04-20-2006, 05:31 AM

I thought about it also, but in the Czech language, you can write it cirtanly both ways...

cheddar cheese · 04-20-2006, 10:41 AM

Aha, but as he preceeded the list with a colon the and was not necessary...who said he was writing in prose?

And actually, you've both spelled certainly wrong

the lancaster kicks ass · 04-20-2006, 11:09 AM

i know that now, i was closer than him though, and he did need the and, colon or not.........
