Bad grammar

[Senga 2]

I've just had an e-mail from AB and was surprised to see a very common grammatical mistake:
"We've made a fair few changes in the last two years, some of which you might of missed"

"Of " is not a verb. The correct word should be "have"

Please don't do this. it spoils anotherwise excellent site.

Tut tut, I would have replied pointing out the grammatical error to the techies/ed that emailed me.

<Hopes there are no grammar errors in the above setence.>

pmsl at setence ;-)

[gingejbee]

"it" with capital letter, please....an space otherwise. If we are being picky!

[Poor-Alfie]

"We've made a fair few changes in the last two years, some have which you might of missed"

?? eh?

[Prudie]

Dare I say I have more than once noticed spelling or grammatical errors in posts from one or other of the Eds. Suppose it proves they're human.

[B00]

an space???

"After all, while you're clearly very clever, there must be some questions you still feel are unanswered!"

Condescending, or does the Editorial staff just never look on here much?

[Poor-Alfie]

ah, missed the seconf '''of

[NazNomad]

... and it skips between first and third-person through the entire email. Oh the shame. :-))

The spelling mistakes and bad grammar of some of the replies here just proves the point that mistakes happen. Give them a break!

[Calibax]

Common mistake. Probably because when speaking we tend to say might've, could've etc.

[gingejbee]

Boo: an otherwise, with a space between the two words.

[Poor-Alfie]

oops second
i am tired, and bored too, i must be, getting involved with this thread.

[B00]

gingebee- 'zakly!

;-)

[Prudie]

Why haven't I had an e-mail - god I'm treated like a mushroom!

[askyourgran]

poor alfie, second 'of'


I have an excuse I spilt some tea on my keyboard, and the bottom row of letters sometimes miss, I thi k they are a it stu k.

ttfn waves to 'mushroom' ☺
Don't worry about the dark, Prudie, save it for the fertilizer!

[Prudie]

Hi ttfn, OK I'll take your advice and play with my spores instead, never wanted an e-mail anyway ☺

Is this email the reason for the sudden re-emergence of a dozen or so users who have not posted on the site for 2 or 3 years?

...some of which may be alternate usernames being dusted off by otherwise regular contributors?
