[edit] Grammer:
[edit] What is Grammer:
Grammar is a term that describes the proper use of words.
You've probably heard the old gag "My Grammer's dead." It's a pun on Gramma and Grammer.
A similar one is made about old English Manors. "Not very good manners." You get the idea anyway.
The info posted up at OH is far more important than worduse and I never want to discourage anyone
from posting up their experience over the use of words.
[edit] Misuse of Words:
Here are some commonly misused abbreviations. Folks can mostly work out what you mean but if you want make your point clearer
these may help.
Your - this is used with ownership as in your car. It means that you are the owner of the car
You're - Short for you are as in You're going too - meaning that you will be going on the cruise with others
A typical post post will say Your going to. A literal tranlation is that the going that belongs to you is headed somewhere. The destination is unstated making the sentence incomplete.
Too - Short for "also" or "as well".
