Sherwick Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I just saw that I used 'too' instead of 'to' in a sentence where the context demanded that I use 'to'!What next? I fear that it's but a short step to starting to use 'their', 'there' and 'they're' inappropriately, finally followed by 'loose' and 'lose'.signed: Depressed in East Dulwich (aka Sherwick):( Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/6025-i-think-im-losing-it/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huguenot Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I always worried about "I used to..." do something.There doesn't seem to be a conditional etc. "I was using to do something, and then...."

Dilemma. Huge horns. Did I find myself on them? Did I hell. I launched myself onto them.Cease the entanglement with the over-refined I beg you and be philosophical on the matter. I know I will be.Their but for the grace of God go I.

Huguenot Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 And there's HB in all sorts of hot water:"you could of, if things'd of worked out differently"It shouldn't be 'of' of course, but 'have', or an artfuly placed apostrophe to denote missing letters and generate 'could've'.As in "I have done something in my trousers" or "I could have done something in my trousers" or "I could've made a message there..."

Moos Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Huguenot, I think you missed Kells' gentle irony, and Honaloochie's pickup on it. Otherwise full marks, welcome to EDF Writing Pedants' Club (Pres. P.Gatecrasher, Sec. A.Sset).Also, I don't want to catch anyone using 'disinterested' for 'uninterested'.

Peckhamgatecrasher Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Can't help thinking a semicolon would have been better employed after "full marks".

Moos Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 PGC - I'm afraid I disagree with your marking, is there an appeal committee?Huguenot - half of me is covered in shame and simpering apologetically, and the other half is thinking 'the lying get'. That said, I usually use the irony to take wrinkles out of my clothes, so am not to be considered an authority.Sherwick, see me after class. Bring your stockholder certificates and a copy of the AGM.
