The Drongo Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 do's versus does I would say that 'do us' is slightly different to 'does'...
The Drongo Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Nou hoekom se jy so...... ek weet van Ostraljaners wat ook iengliesh as 'n eerste taal op skool moes vat. Hulle is nou jammer hulle het nie Warlpiri en Tiwi geleer nie They probably would've been better off with Tiwi mate.
The Ouzo Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Hmmmm seems many hubbers did not go on leave over Christmas for a well needed BREAK or have not had a leg over in a while. There are folks here who did not take english as a first language at school. I would really love it if we forced all hubbers to write in Afrikaans or dare I say it Zulu just for a day. Then we will see some lovely spelling .... probably a severe decrease in the number of threads and people participating in threads. Get over it folks this is the internet not an english grammar class.next we'll have Mxit speak on here.
Mojoman Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 next we'll have Mxit speak on here.Someone mailed me an enquiry the other day in that 'Mixit' language, I replied back in that same style, maybe its not the best business practice but sometimes you just can't help yourself! I can't stand it!
TNT1 Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 It's that think with a free spel check. If it has sqiggilz in green, then your grammar doeth suck. I prefer Libre Office for *nix then.

bontie Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 Amen Stephan! (But let's not get into that now.) Ect, ect. Or Etc. etc?
DJR Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 On Campagnola post - check how one of the larger retailers in Pta spell Campagnolo all over their website... Yes, they spell it with an a at the end, and then get it right with an e , just like you do . At least that is till better than calling it Campy in my opinion.
TNT1 Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 At least that is till better than calling it Campy in my opinion. Yeah, for years I was calling it Campag, then all of a sudden the okes here start with the gay sounding campy bit. Freaks me out.

Regular bicycles have saddles which you ride on and which support your weight.
