How do we rejected access our application as is referred to in our bad new letter?

As the token Englishman on this thread, I've got some views on this :lol

However, I'd imagine there's a limit on post length so I'll keep to one statement :-

The first person that goes to the bar and says 'Can I get...' buys everyone in earshot a drink. No you cannot 'get', that's the barman's job and he's going to be quite upset if you try! 'May I have...'. Get that right and we'll overlook colour, trousers, carpark, holiday, motorway etc all being overlooked. :wink

The rest of this thread is well smart init. :biggrin

Hey, wait a minute. We're supposed to be beating up on Gary. This isn't fair.

I found a few problems with your above statement.

The words liquid and red should not be capitalized. There should be a comma after "and as such".

Actually, in this case, I believe Liquid Red is being used as a noun (the name of the color) and not as an adjective, therefore, it should be capitalized.

Common nouns are the general names of people, places, and things. These types of nouns are usually not capitalized (unless they begin a sentence or are part of a title). Are you saying they are part of a title? :willy

 

[TO AWSUM]

Interesting because couldn't this color be considered a thing since the paint can be touched? Seems no different than naming a car, horse, dog, picture, etc.

Touché.:thumbsup

Being I speak more Texican than English, I yield the floor to those more proficient in the English language.:cheers

... but if you lean 15 degrees forward, the head weight is more like 27 lbs

It is evident some of us don't have a lot to do today :lol

That is a side effect of your wine intake, not actual weight transfer.:cheers

Put the wine glass down Gary and think this one through again. Obviously you won't be confused with a famous statesman, orator, or philosopher any time soon buddy. :facepalm:

You should be with poor punctuation like that.

Let us not forget the new GT is not Carbon Fibre and Al-yoo-mini-um. :usa

Its = Possessive
It’s = Contraction
Therefore it should read as: Actually it’s, "Grammar".:willy:rofl

Sorry, just couldn't help myself.:facepalm:[emoji38]biggrin

Here's some other words and abbreviations our highly educated Forum brothers are constantly misusing.

Their, there, they're

We're, were, where

Whether, weather

Two, to, too, 2

Then, than

Either, neither, nor

Etc. eg. i.e.

Must be a bunch of engineers like me who slept in English class and said it's not important. Surprise, it is important if you want to communicate clearly. I had a secretary in the 1970s that beat it into my head on a daily basis until I learned. That darn auto correct gets me all the time now if I don't proof read before I hit the send button.

The above should be "here are" instead of "here's." "Here's" is the contraction of "here is," which is singular and would be correct if you offered one term. Your list calls for "here are," as in "here are some other words." That said, your version is a common colloquial usage.

This thread will probably last another 10-20 years, and at the end we'll be the smartest forum on the Interwebs!

Please remember any errors I make are purely intentional and for entertainment value, or the bar is open. :lol
