I guess the first would be, capitalize your "I's more. Meaning, "I've," "I'm," "I'll," and "I".

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.

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. Wink

The apostrophe is used in the manner in which Sparhawk just covered, as well as possessives: Jonny's apple, Lauren's laptop, etc.
