Several of my close friends apparently do not know to spell "would've". Where do I hide the bodies?

Don't. Proudly display them next to your door as a warning to others.

Make a picket fence with their ribs and tell people you're getting a head start on Halloween decorations.
One grammar mistake that's been bugging me lately is incorrect abbreviation of 'is' and 'are'. I'd like to think that there're many things wrong with writing 'There's many things wrong', but it's just the one thing, and it annoys me. -------------------- Trouble Down Pit: Still updated every Monday and Friday

QUOTE (Mata @ May 30 2010, 02:20 PM)  I'd like to think that there're many things wrong with writing 'There's many things wrong', but it's just the one thing, and it annoys me. Although... I'm fairly sure 'there're' isn't an official contraction. And so, giving over to such informality of language might allow a bit of leniency on the whole plural/singular front? Although, ultimately, I do agree with you

Stuff like this only becomes an issue when you write it down. In speech, it's more than likely that you use both contractions without noticing but thanks to texting/ facebook/ e-mail/ actually having to write to people, you notice them.

Thanks for the tips guys!
I'm cool with unofficial contractions, all I ask is that you don't change random words to 'of'! Also, knowing the difference between there, there, they're. Facebook fills me with rage right now. I wish I had the freedom to leave, but all my friends are part of the cult and would probably never speak to me to again if I did.

Students that write "would of" in their English essays get rude comments written by me and lines saying "would have... would've. Should have... should've" to write out twenty times. I know this probably isn't the "official way" to treat this sort of problem but if stopped I will announce that any other form of correctional activity short of corporal punishment is against my religion!
Grrr. There are many grammatical errors I can cope with. This one however, is the epitome of ignorance in my opinion! -------------------- If life hands you a lemon make lemonade, lace it with cyanide and then pass it around. What can I say I'm a revenge type of gal!!! Ryn

 I could have written a short novel by this point Group: Established Members Posts: 1,579 Joined: 4-August 08 Member No.: 12,759 Gender: Secret |
^I would laugh so hard if one of them begin writing "kind have.."
-------------------- Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: You are all stardust. You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded, because the elements - the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution and for life - weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars, and the only way for them to get into your body is if those stars were kind enough to explode. So, forget God. The stars died so that you could be here today. ~Lawrence Krauss

You know, as I was writing that I thought to myself "I'd better be careful here, if I make a mistake in this post I'll look really stupid". Then I made myself look really stupid.
In my defence, I only said knowing the difference, not actually using the right one

It is the essence of order, and leads to all that is good, just and beautiful, of which it is the invisible, but nevertheless dazzling, passionate, and eternal form." - Plato |
