Spelling/grammar lesson

[Holders]

Don't worry, Scrumpy, you hear it wrongly a lot including more and more on the BBC but it does help to distinguish by putting that element of "doubt" into the tense (subjunctive, I believe but I'm prepared to be corrected!).

"If Berba was (had been is better) at the races I'd have seen him" versus "if Berba were to have broken his rib he'd have been out for a few weeks"...

Other pet hates: the media of TV, this criteria, program, instore, that new statue at Ilfracombe. And (don't start a sentence with a conjunction, Holders) most of all, the abominable SNUCK. Oh, and bided for bade. The BBC does that as well.

Next time you ask for a quote just remember that not all public school tuffs from the ruff part of Slough know that quotation's the noun, quote's the verb.

and why, when we read out our telephone numbers does everyone use o instead of zero 0
we don't write it down with an o so why do we say it with an o
O IS A LETTER NOT A NUMBER

And while my gander is up why do people that live in london area say their phone number as
0208 and 0207   its not right .....the prefix is 020   the first number of the phone number is 7 or 8

Agreed. I'm a Telecoms engineer and that really gets my goat. Innit.

actually, I didn't know we did, or we did so, or we did not, this is getting all rather jumbled up for one so old and not versed in the colloquialisms of the well spoken English. (Pick the bones out of that little lot then!!)

My favourite/favorite, since I work in a high school, is when kids ask me if they can ax me a question... I usually respond; Firstly you just did, secondly only if you want me to use that ax on you... To which they respond, are you axen to ax me the same question I want to ax you?   :bang head:
