Bad atitudes verses positive

Why didn't you catch this from the beginning ? "Bad atitudes verses positive "

 

or......."Bad attitudes versus good attitudes" or....."Negative attitudes versus positive attitudes". Ouch, my head hurts, I gotta stop this!

 

I'm not the grammar police.......but........

I had to re read the original post several times simply because of the spelling and other errors of grammar.

There were two in the title of the thread.

I counted at least 30 more as I read the post.

Spell check is a good thing.......a proof reader would help MANY here as well.

 

Back to school with you sir:

Changing the "a" for the "o" was correct...not a state capitol!

There is no need for the "it", the statement starts with what sounds like a question, but it actually is a directive, so the sentence can continue without being a question...so no need to make two sentences using the "?".

In the use of apostrophes, this can get confusing...so, apostrophe s, means possessive, personal possessive, in this case using the word "somebody", ask yourself would "somebody is" sound right? If yes then the apostrophe would be correct, if not, then you switch to the "s, e-s, or i-e-s" rule.

 

Ya know, I got a paddling the last day of my senior year of high school. Will it ever end? Lead on!

 

Heh, Heh...that's what started this whole thread going...it was hard to read, a little, but we are having fun with this, since it is impolite to make a habit of criticizing others grammar and spelling. Some don't know better, some spell phonetically, some are typos, and some do it on purpose. As a responder, in this situation, one can never tell what the correct answer would be to why the error happened. So, I (and others) took off with the fun and games...just a spoof...no hurtfulness intended.

There are many instances of "professional" literary, and journalistic FUBARS when it comes to this English language. Almost daily I get a kick out of yelling into my windshield while listening to Fox on satellite radio. How does someone get to be a paid journalist, when you don't have good control of the English language. Reporters are the proof of the dumbing down of the American citizen.

Great signature there, Billy Bob!

 

When did I go back to High School College Prep Literary Comp? LMAO!

 

I saw that, and that is what prompted me to the thread, then I couldn't quote the title, so I went with the question response. It worked!

 

Nope, close but no cigar!

Since the question, (the "cipherin") starts with a decimal, $.26, the answer must also contain the decimal equivalent:

The correct answer is; $ 20,280.00

 

Close enough! You sound EXACTLY like Mr. McFadden!
