Snuggs09: What about lie lying lay layed ????
I covered that in this thread:

The_Kansan: Sorry Jeff, but I can't help but remember the time I dressed up as a "Ghost Rider" for Halloween and went through a local haunted house with several friends. We were about half-way through when some scraggly little bloody looking dude jumped out from behind a wall with a hangman's loop in his hand. Everybody else freaked out, but I just looked at him and said, "No need for the rope, little man, I'm already well-hung!"

Snuggs09: So now look at me correcting the English teacher.
Please don't get mad, I'm just kidding around
Shouldn't your sentence have been:
Nice to have a sensible discussion. Or, did you intentionally end the sentence with an adverb??
Gotta send hugs and flowers so you don't get mad at me

Found it. Very good Snuggs, liking it.
And I love hugs and flowers.
Did I? No, not intentionally, I do get my endings mixed up, because I often get my languages mixed up.
For instance in German, the correct of saying I do not understand is 'Ich verstehe nicht' translated to I understand not.
Street German as it is often called, where as we would call it slang in English, is 'Ich nicht verstehe'
You corrected me, rightly so.
I knew that Ambrose would join this thread, it is right up or down his street.

lusciousmile: I hope Robbie doesn't take this the wrong way but he does confuse the words 'your' and you're, 'there' and 'their' a lot.
I have to agree. Robbie would be one of the last people I would ask for English grammar advice. He never uses they're, you're and uses their for they're.

SensualVixen: Many do not know how to use don't and doesn't.
He doesn't know how. Many say he don't know how.
They don't know how.
Break it down to he does not, and they do not.......
He doesn't know how. Many say he don't know how.
They don't know how.
Break it down to he does not, and they do not.......
I agree.
Also, the other words that people often misuse and I have done it, are lose and loose.
I was playing scrabble this evening with my students, one of them asked the group 'Is Emilie not here?'
And the answer was 'no'
The answer should have been 'yes'

ooby_dooby: Well what about tutu? I'm going to the store to get a tutu, you can come too. This way, like you, I'll have two tutu's too. To tutu or not to tutu that is the question. I too have a horn to toot when I wear my tutu. This is just too much. To toot while wearing a tutu is too too much tooting.

Stationary - not moving;
Stationery - writing materials;

I don't have a problem with those four, but I do have a problem with "subjective" and "objective".
No matter how many times I read the definitions, it just doesn't want to compute.

Could someone please explain to me what Americans/Brits mean by 'I should of gone to town with him'
Is it a correct substitute for 'should have'? It sounds weird.

It's awfully weird that I was thinking about "effect" and "affect" just today.
Thanks for the rescue.

Snuggs09: Principal principle is a big one but I think "ple" means the rule and "pal" refers to a person.
Complement means the orange shirt complemented her pants and compliment is when I say you look pretty
Coarse is when the potatoes are coarse and not fluffy and course is the math subject
Bare is I'm going bare when I get in the shower or I'm bareing my soul (I think) and bear is either the animal
Jeff help

Bear can be used in the term 'I cannot bear it'
