aussiew Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 fingernails on a chalk board reading this stuff OVER and OVER and OVER. How anyone can get to the college level and not be able to grasp the difference is beyond me. There - meaning "over there" or in that place. They're - shortened form of THEY ARE Their - possessive - e.g. The Bills won their last game. Your - possessive - e.g. please study your English You're - shortened form of YOU ARE. After a year of reading these word misused on TSW, I just had to vent. So sue me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fezmid Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 I agree with you 100%. My biggest pet-peeve, however, is when people say, "Oh, I could write it correctly if I wanted to; I just didn't feel like it." Right... Like the things you listed should be something anyone consciously thinks about. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuckincincy Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 We need not discuss the case of a pronoun in a subordinate clause, nor the agreement of said pronoun with it's antecedent. The agreement of a verb with it's subject died years ago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfmeister Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Congrats ! You got each one of them correct. I see the mistakes all the time. One problem is there is no spell checker on this board. But that wouldn't help the misuse of the correct words. Those nuns at Bishop Neumann High School must have beat them into me ...

It's: short for it is, it has, it was, etc. Its: the gender-neutral version of his and hers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
