Grammar Tips From The Captain

Your: The possessive form of you. "Your dog smells."

You're: Contraction of you are. "You're a dog."

There: "There are too many frogs on my plate."

Their: The possessive form of they. "Their frogs taste the best."

They're: Contraction of they are. "They're going to eat the frogs."

 

So, the love and sex forum is also English class?


I personally don't care about gramatical errors online. I am usually smart enough to grasp what the other person is trying to get across.

 

he could have used better examples.....
(not that mine are better, but they are at least topical...)

"you're great in the sack babe"
"your cock is huge man"
"they're fucking like a pair of wild monkeys"


and so such....

 

What about "Yer", as in "Who's yer Daddy?"

 

awww, Cap'n, thanks for the gentle reminder.

*gigggles*

being an English major, poor grammar just jumps off the page at me. i can usually keep quiet, though - we all have our weaknesses.

 

It's intended as a joke; just like The Captain himself is a joke.

 

Yeah.. bad grammar makes my eyes bleed.
I'm a serious stickler.
And...
"Dong, where is my automobile?"
vs.
"Dong, were you out partying all night?"

 

That shit is so annoying, how can such simple things be so hard for seemingly so many people? And don't forget then and than.

 

Oh yeah, don't forget less and fewer.

A pint of beer is less than a gallon.
12 beers is fewer than 24.

 

Grammar Nazis unite!

Sieg Heil!

 

oh bad grammar drives me crazy!!

ok I admit that my grammar isn't always perfect.. but I'm 15 from Iceland, so you gotta give me a break

 

Are we being graded on our fucking grammar now?
