Are you asking the grammar Nazi to hurt you?
Re: Grammar Problems - Blondin - 26-03-2012
Yes i've been bad
Without joke, i'm open to any correction.
Re: Grammar Problems - Sparhawk - 26-03-2012
I guess the first would be, capitalize your "I's more. Meaning, "I've," "I'm," "I'll," and "I".
Re: Grammar Problems - Isatis - 26-03-2012
I guess I should take classes here too. I'm a French grammar Nazi, with my friend so I guess it won't harm me!
(goddam... those ''I'' are annoying... )
Ok, I got a question : Why do, in some text, you, English people, use the '' ' '' (apostrophe in French, the ') and what's his signification?
Is it just an abreviation or is it something else?
Thanks.
Re: Grammar Problems - Sparhawk - 27-03-2012
Yes, it means that one or more letters are being left out where the apostrophe is. Just an abbreviation.
I've = I have
I'll = I will
I'm = I am
"Won't" is one that baffles me though. I know it means "will not" but how did it become w,o,n,'t?
One problem most people have that I do know about is over using commas. You used one too many in your last post I think, but for being French, you type way better than a lot of native American or English people I've seem.
I'm only 17 though and I don't quite know everything there is to know about grammar, so I may need help as well.
Re: Grammar Problems - Talgion Cheeseliker - 27-03-2012
The apostrophe is used in the manner in which Sparhawk just covered, as well as possessives: Jonny's apple, Lauren's laptop, etc.
