I see where you are coming from but I didn't get it from a dubious website. I actually found it on Google Images.

I'd tolerate this kind of shit from a regular poster, but seeming as its a 4-post noob, I hope he gets crabs.

There. Corrected your post for you x

Everyone can see what you are...I'm a good looking young man looking to have a festival rendezvous with a hot woman who's free, young and beautiful

 

You're an old troll, who enjoys pretending to be an alpha male online, who, for some reason...has decided to try and stop romance from taking place

 

Go for it..grab a granny at Glasto x

I'll let others have a pop at you for the content of your thread, hunky, where as I, regretfully, have to take issue with your grammar:

'has decided to try TO stop romance from taking place'

There really is no compund verb 'to try and'. It's 'to try to'.

Just try to use it in negative form...'decided to try not and stop romance from taking place' compared to 'decided not to stop romance from taking place'.

See?

I know that correcting grammar on an online forum is (appropriately) frowned upon, but your thread is pretty grim, and this is my most hated grammatical aberration, so I couldn't help myself.

Have a great Friday.

Oh and if you want a second opinion young Mr Hunky Rock, you seem to have an aversion to using the full stop - either that or you've run out of them.

Here's a few spare ones for you to use in your next post .................................

My pet grammar peeve is the incorrect use of 'of' instead of 'have'.

Btw, obvious troll is obvious.  Come back Tommmy, all is forgiven.

Well, if we're swapping grammar crimes...

Their/there/they're - ugh!

Almost no-one seems correctly to use myself/yourself.

And yes, Spindles, the of/have substitution makes my linguistic blood boil!

PS - I have plenty more of these!

Very nicely done, PAS.

Sometimes you even rival dental and Gnomy with your neat little repostes (no piss take).

God damn right!

I can't be the only one who hates cuz in place of because, can I? I can live with 'cause and even cos has a certain primary school charm, but cuz is just vile.

Use of literally when the user means the exact opposite still rankles.

And I'm beginning to hate the incorrect use of seminal as well - it is not synonymous with excellent.

I guess I needed to vent.

Reading the user reviews on Amazon does this to you.

D'you know what? - I looked at that twice!

No apology needed, Chazwozza. Those in glass houses, and all that!

Another one - the cynical challenge, used by football commentators/pundits to describe an intentional foul. What?

I'm happy for people to keep on posting these! (until Neil decides that we've crossed the off-thread rubicon...)

Pacific instead of specific makes me want to kill.

[Gnomicide]

My pet peave is people using to instead of too**. It happens to many times*.

 

*See what I did there!

**##cough, LondonTom, cough##

[Chazwozza]

And I get peaved by folk saying peave instead of peeve.

 

I think...

Surely of all the threads, this is one we should be going off topic with...

We're classing up this place!

I mentioned this on another thread a little while back. I used to run a shop which, among other things, sold artists' materials. I had one member of staff who would frequently tell me a customer wanted 'a pacific size canvas'. I would tell her 'We don't stock any that big', but she never got the joke, or stopped saying it. 

The other one that bugs me is people using 'defiantly' when they mean 'definitely'. 

[grumpyhack]

I appreciate that sometimes people don't know any better but the one I try to correct when teaching Creative Writing (sorry that's another peeve as all writing is creative - you don't talk about Creative Painting courses) is the misuse of the apostrophe.

An apostrophe denotes either that a letter is missing as in can't (cannot) or it indicates possession as in the boy's ball (the ball belongs to the boy) or the boys' ball (the ball belongs to the boys).

The one a lot of people get wrong is it's.  It's with an apostrophe should only be used to mean it is. However people often make the mistake with a sentence like "The cat sat on its mat."  That's correct.

"The cat sat on it's mat" is wrong because what you are writing is "The cat sat on it is mat."  The mat may belong to the cat, which makes people think it's possessive,  But it isn't.

I need to get out more......

Is that apostrophe okay?

I believe not.

Is it not the singular fuck sake, as in for fuck sake? Aurally we hear fucks sake and this is what is written.

Probly wrong tho

[Gnomicide]

If it is the sake of fuck that I am concerned about, is it not the sake that belongs to fuck? Hence it if Fuck's sake?

[Chazwozza]

An interesting point Gnomicide.  I wonder what Mr Rock's views on this might be,

Hunky...? Have you anything useful to say?
