So I'm sitting here at work on a Saturday waiting for those that may need my help, reading through the posting when...
Aaaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuuugggggggggghhhh !
I think my brain is going to short out !
I know I'm being picky about it all but after just soooo many times I think it is giving me an unatural "tick". (What would a natural one look like ? - different topic for another time...)
The grammer police are pounding on the door !
When you use the wrong words you change the meaning of the written passage you have entered.
Then - is a time related reference. First one thing is done THEN something else follows.
Than - is a comparative term. You would raher have this item THAN the other one.
Google - refers to an internet search engine (and company). Slang for looking something up online.
Goggle - the protective eyewear that all laser enthusiasts should be able to show on request.
definately - NOT A WORD !
definitely - derived from the root word "finite" refering to an absolute known value. There is definitely not a word "definately".
learnt - NOT A WORD !
learned - the past tense of the word learn. By reading this you should have learned a few things.
There are many more that I am sure that we all have seen and maybe even have dropped ourselves.
I'm just throwing this out there before I explode.
Now I'm feeling much better.
AND for those here that are not English speaking as your first language I accept your errors willingly. Take this post as just a little help with your understanding of one of the most confusing and convoluted languages in the world.
Thank you all.
