"I maybe stupid....." Section

[matchlesswdg3]

This title bugs me every time I read it! Trivial, maybe (note use of "maybe"!) but please change it to "I may [space] be stupid, but....". Please!:undecided:

[Sean N]

Or strictly speaking, "I might be stupid..."

[N.O.S.]

In my case I don't think there is any no doubt whatsoever :banana:

[Tony B]

N.O.S. you can add me to that. Latest exploit, trying to start an automatic vehicle, dead! After about 5 minutes walk round the back and think, why are reversing lights on? :red: It happens to all of us, just some more than others.

[radiomike7]

OP is correct, maybe is an an adverb and means the same as perhaps.

 

N.O.S is also correct:wave:

I don't think ignorance of ones own language is something to be proud of.

 

Don't worry Enigma, the average Dutch persons written and spoken English is generally better than many British people, I'm sad to say.

I was not suggesting for one moment that it was.

If one looks at the smilies surely one would understand my comments were infact a little "tongue in cheek"

I will however stand by my comment of this being as we all know a Military vehicle forum and not a classroom.

[Adrian Barrell]

Had I been answering your post directly, I would have quoted you, I was speaking in general terms.

You are correct, it is just a forum.

[gas 44]

Perhaps I misunderstood your first post. :undecided:

However life is far too short to get too bothered about a little grammar,spelling or punctuation.

Oh, good call! Updated :-)

Aint is supposedly perfectly acceptable now

 

The one that bugs me is the 99% "me and Mike" instead of the correct "Mike and I"...... but can't win as seems to be the script in every movie now or celebrity interview

 

We could blame a lot of people but the bodies writing dictionaries add new rubbish every year e.g.

 

Whilst Whitsuntiding, listening to the latest Earworm, Jack sat Havey–cavey on his favourite chair, then experienced

Permadeath during a critical moment playing Age of War on his Mahoosive LCD screen.

 

In a moment of Crony capitalism he studied his Lookbook and was happy to see his Duck face posturing in front of his Crusader tank but was concerned that this Digital footprint would be forever

Actually Mike, as far as I know there is no grammatical rule that suggests that 'me and Mike' is incorrect; it is merely a point of politeness to put yourself second among equal mortals. However when talking about lesser items it becomes perfectly correct, 'me and my screwdriver' rather than 'my screwdriver and I'.

 

I worry more about the apparent substitution 'of' in place of 'have'.......

[Chopa]

You worry about that?
