Grammar and spelling

[que90nek]

Let's help each other with spelling and grammar rules....not that u have to use them here...but for our own use...


to, too, two -- use TOO when meaning also example: i'd like to meet her too.
use two when counting example: one two three four

[Bedroomeyes]

LOL!!! See - you ain't right!

[seductive_tee]

Que, you could have just PM'd me and told me......i'm hurt...:( :( :(

And on that note, you better triple proofread TOO!

[SoftNwet]

there are a few more rules you could have posted like:

There, their and they're

There= place

their=ownership
and
they're= they are

Exapmle:

They're going over there to see their family. ;)

[seductive_tee]

Thanks Soft...i'm printing that out...i always had a problem using those....:)

[que90nek]

the point of this thread is to point those out....like soft did....to share different rules....not to belittle but to inform and empower. Good example soft!

[SoftNwet]

[que90nek]

could somebody post comma rules?
when to use the comma......

[SoftNwet]

Buy, by, and bye

buy=to purchase
by=close or next to
bye=incidental or secondary. Or to skip a round in a tournament.
bye-bye= express farewell

Ex:(phone call)

Caller #1: Where did you buy your house?

Caller #2: It is by the old statium. Bye(or by) the day did you know this was a bye week for the Falcons?

Caller#1 No, I gotta go now. Talk to you later.....bye-bye!!:wave:

[que90nek]

caller number 2.....by the way or bye the way...which one!

According to The America Heritage College Dictionary Third Edition

bye also by: 1. a secondary matter; a side issue. 2. SportsThe position of one who draws no opponent for a round in a tournament and so davances to the next round. -Idiom. by the bye. By the was; incidnetally.

I hope that helps.

[seductive_tee]

Class is in session.

Grammer 101....and Tina taking notes.

[Versatile]

Seen = Past tense of saw
Scene = one of the subdivisions of a play or an act presenting continuous action in one place

[SoftNwet]

Hole=an opening or perforation

whole=complete, not divided

EX: He ran a hole in his shoe after running the whole marathon!

me - technically, the object form meaning it follows a verb, except if it is a linking verb: is, has, smell, touch...(anything dealing with a sense, i.e., sight, smell, touch, you get the point) or it follows a preposition: by, on, under, after, etc.

I - technically, the subject meaning it comes before the verb. basically it does the action.

now, my point. because folks tend to think that using "you and I" makes them sound edjumacated, they over use it and mess it all up to be damned. was watching marion jones on ESPN and she tore it all up.

easy way to remember, separate them and see if it makes sense:

She gave you and ? the condoms. (remember, break it up)
gave you & gave I or gave me..........ding ding ding ME
She gave you and me the condoms.

one more
While walking along a river bank in Charleston's high-rent district, the dog bit the shyt out of you and ?......ME

it is usually the folks that try to pontificate that prove their short comings by committing the "you and I" fiasco.

for the laymen:
before the verb - you and I
after the verb or preposition- you and me (unless it's a linking verb - that's why highbrows answer the phone, "this is she or this is he or 'tis I" -- but that's tomorrow's lesson)

Between you and me, you and I need to take a shower before we drop drawers.

[Tastey]

But I've often wondered why alot of Hush member refer to Djackso as Djackson. :confused:

Oh well....guess it doesn't really matter. :p

[SoftNwet]

There is not such word as conversate!!!!!!!!!!!

The word is converse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You do not conversate on the phone, you have a conversation or you converse with some one!!!!! Check any dictionary and you will not find conversate!!!!!

[Toffee]

singular - Test
Plural - Tests

Not Testsess.

light skinned... not light skinded

[que90nek]

this is gettin good!

thanks davinci....i am sure that i/me was very helpful for some...

what i was told was just to take out the other thing and say the I or the me by itself in the sentence...if it sounds good...its good

oops...that's what u said..."separate them..."

YEP YEP.

[davinci]

i try, dawg, i try.

[adaya]

You all have touched my heart!!!!!!!! thank you, thank you, thank you! If there is one thing that can pluck my third nerve, it's bad grammar and the general wreckage of words. Ya'll have made me misty-eyed!:cry: :D :cry: hopefully this will help us all.......

[davinci]

brought vs bought

brought = past tense of bring
He brought this smelly ass cat over here.

bought = past tense of buy
I bought some baking soda from the store for to wash that smelly ass cat.

two for one deal
burst

though "i'm gonna bust your damn head to the white meat" sounds hardcore, burst is one of the few words that doesn't change in conjugation.

the bag burst. (not busted)
the bag will burst. (not bust)
the bag did burst.
the bag is going to burst.

[que90nek]

disgust (dis-gust)
tr.v. dis·gust·ed, dis·gust·ing, dis·gusts
To excite nausea or loathing in; sicken.
To offend the taste or moral sense of; repel.

yes....disgust is NOT pronouced...dis-SKUST

You guys are really serious with this, huh~?? :rolleyes: And, I thought it started out as a joke. . . Hhhhhmmmmmmmm

[que90nek]

no...
this is SERIOUS!!!!!!!

i want people to be INFORMED....I WANT TO BE INFORMED.

there is nothing worse than representing yourself to colleagues and bosses....in an inarticulate manner...

that...and the way that you dress can easily rule you out of future advancement.

[sistuhchey]

:rolleyes: :rolleyes:
