"An apple" or "an eye" is.

the "n" needs to be attached before the next word if it begins with a vowel unless it's "y".

Anyways, sorry those are the two main one's that make the hair on my neck rise.

:mrgreen:

Don't forget words that start with an "h". Thems is wanting an "an" as well.

Yes, you are correct sir. But typical of the english language there are exceptions to this rule.

"I'll see you in an hour" as oppose to "do you have a handkerchief?" or "you don't have a hope in hell".

I believe the "h" rule only works sometimes but not always.

I detest people saying, (not on this forum at least) me and "whoever" instead of
"whoever" and I...did...

Graffiti!!!! It's a verb not a noun! Graffito is the noun!!!

lorenz0 10-25-2009 05:44 AM

Picky people, it's the internet...

VFX 10-25-2009 08:18 AM

Not internet related but, people saying expresso instead of espresso.

I don't really mind all the misspellings, typos or grammatical errors littering the forum(s). My brain usually process them fine. What drives me bonkers is when I step into a LFS and start talking the talk only to get tripped up by words that virtually everyone pronounces differently. How the heck do you pronounced Acropora, Giessemann, copepod, zeovit, etc..

Have you ever tried to sound knowledgeable without actually saying any of those words?... I stay home for this very reason :razz:

Haha yeah me too! I'm pretty useless without google and that only tells you how to spell it ;)

I agree with others, spelling and gramma aren't important in a social environment like this forum but it does bother me in the proffesional world. I actually get a kick out of things like that around here, often it's quite funny but it certainly never bothers me.

lastlight 10-28-2009 02:07 AM

Sphelps for the win. I'll be scrolling down a thread and as SOON as my eyes pickup a repeat picture I get pretty annoyed. And of course 10 others usually follow. I will occasionally repost a single picture if I'm referring to it and it's not a very recent post.

I guess the second thing (and I'm joking guys) would BE Sphelps himself. He knows a buttload about a surprisingly broad array of topics which makes debate difficult since I don't.

Skimmerking 10-28-2009 02:08 AM

Damn Tony. Get a life!

Haha. I removed any mention of 1000 posts from my post like THREE seconds after I posted thinking maybe I *won't* be able to make it tonight.

So yeah...cat's out of the bag. I'm whoring for 1000 =)

I believe the "h" rule only works sometimes but not always.

The sentences you provided as examples for the 'h' rule illustrate precisely why it is used in some cases and not others. I think it generally applies only to words with the dreaded 'silent' h, such as 'hour'.

The english language rule I have difficulty in comprehending is the pronunciation of 'one'. Same as 'won'. How does that work? Come to think of it, why the h is the h silent in some words anyway?

Reminds me of something rather 'umerous', har. I used to have a boss named Hedley who was originally from Newfoundland. One of the best people I ever had the pleasure to work for. We were on a business trip to the grand isle, along with another fellow by the name of Ed. Now anyone that's familiar with the Newfie dialect may already know where I might be going with this! Don't remember who came up with the phrase, surely another Newf, since they have their own way of dealing with the letter 'h'. Anyhow, I was not on a trip with Hedley and Ed, rather in Newfonese, I was on a trip with 'Edley' and 'Hed'!

Skimmerking 10-28-2009 11:15 AM

you guys are lucky that BOB I isnt around any more you would all get a crap load from him...

The last I heard he had moved to BC. Been a few years though hasn't it! Hope he's doing well.

Boomboy 10-28-2009 05:39 PM

what bugs me is the stupid english language, there are so many stupid exceptions to every word. (sidenote - i suck at english grammar and spelling)

Parker 10-28-2009 05:47 PM

The fact that Lastlight will have salt in his tank before me!

lastlight 10-28-2009 06:07 PM

I'm not making any garantees man lol. I need to sort out my aquascape and I'm fussy as hell. I need to get some rods and epoxy for the big day/days.

And Doug that hurts dude. I bought some socks and a net the other day so you wouldn't wonder why I was in the shop AGAIN. I care man...I'm just looking for friends *sniff*

Just saying. But then again I make spelling errors all the time, and what's worse is that I usually see them but am too lazy to fix them after I've pushed that "Submit" button.

English bugs me. And apparently ALOT of other people.

One other thing that bugs me people who have HUGE signatures that take up half the screen and compose >75% of any given thread they post in.

haha, yeap same deal over here. It usually corrects for it automatically but sometimes it doesn't and for some reason once you misspell a word once it tends to remember and change words to the incorrect spelling as appose to the correct spelling. Stupid technology, haha jk computer don't crash on me :hail:

What there was some post padding going on and I missed it?!?!

Myka 10-30-2009 11:42 PM

Oh I remembered another one...when people have their entire tank listed out in the their signature. Why not make a link and call it "Ghetto 120" or "150 with all the Expensive Gadgets"? I mean srsly (that drives me nuts too), that's what the Tank Journal is for...not your signature!! :p
