| Senior Member | 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. |

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.

| 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?"

| Senior Member | 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" |

| Senior Member | 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.......

| Senior Member | I always type properly It doesnt feel natural and I thought it was wrong too, but on further inspection I think its technically fine. |
| | |
| | #38 |
| Senior Member | if the bit that doesn't feel natural is the same bit i'm looking at, it is a technical mistake.......

| Senior Member | "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. |
| | |
| | #40 |
| Senior Member | that's poor english but isn't a technical mistake, think back to what you were taught about making lists........

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

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

| Senior Member | 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 |
| | |
| | #45 |
| Senior Member | i know that now, i was closer than him though, and he did need the and, colon or not.........
