Here's one I've never gotten a definitive answer to; There are three ways to spell the word "TO". How is the word "TO" spelled in that sentence???

New ad for MLB: tag line, "Ain't baseball great?"

Grrrr.

 

[DebiK]

Going to be their? Their what? What are you going to be for them? LOL

When I read sentences like that, I ask the same questions. (to myself normally)
They're was a couple that went their for there honeymoon, but loved it so much, there still their!

Grrrr.

What's wrong with that?

 

[DebiK]

I'm just poking fun. I really don't care how well people write/talk/type. I read typonese fluently!

Their is just so much wrong with that they're sentence. There use of vocabulary is clearly not they're strong suit.

Ah yes, another perfect example! I'm with you, I keep it to myself, normally, but sometimes it's harder to let it slide than others. (That brings up the "than" & "then" thing too. That in turn leads back to the "TO" thing.)
Oh my GOD! (OMG ) It's like George Carlin said, I tried to spell my name the other day and couldn't stop! George-orgeorge-orgeorge................ It's a never ending NAME!!!"

Hi bigbells! I suspected you were correct. When I read what Debadoo wrote, it just didn't seem to jibe. Then your post caused ME to backtrack and find it. So, to save time, here is the EXACT quote as originally written...

Unlike the Facebook Film Petition, a comma may have been appropriate (between the words "fantastic" & "as is a deaf dude.").

Moreover, I'm pretty sure it was just a brain fart on Debadoo's part, anyway. Happens to me ALL THE TIME! I probably need MORE NICOTINE!

Grammer ain't my high suit. I'm ok with it but may drop a comma or two. (or 3)

LOL! I tend to use too the comma way too often. So I guess I'll just pick up all the ones you drop, I'm sure I'll misuse them at some point!

 

[Semiretired]

Being around individuals that English is their second language almost my entire life I have learned to become very flexible and understanding of their misuse of punctuation, verbs, synonyms, spelling, etc. I speak a lot of variations of the English language and have learned to understand most of them.

Shoot when I visit my relatives in N. Georgia - it takes me a minute or two to be able to remember how to understand some of them - hill talk as they call it...

Unless I am writing professionally I am at times careless with my typed words - not on purpose, but it does happen - especially when I am in a rush...

I don't think anybody's intent was to be critical of either the writer or the reader, just pokin' fun in general.

Ya, er, uh, no, aw shucks, I'm purty sure most of us git it.

 

[MattB101]

I apologize for seeming to be critical. I was simply trying to point out the reason that it was so easy for Debadoo to read that sentence the wrong way. It was not my intent to come across as an, umm, donkey. Sorry.

Oh stop it you critical thing you! Doesn't bother me a bit. I'm typing with arthritic thumbs so if I miss a punctuation mark occasionally so be it. You guys are killing me and forcing me to ask that ever important question…. Who really cares. Long as you get my meaning I'm ok and most did. Like the lady in the adult education commercial said… "I learned de readings, rightings and pronounsations of words."

My Grammar died a long time ago. She was really old.

Ain't ain't a word and ya ain't s'posed ta use it
If ya say ain't 5 times then ya ain't gonna go to Heaven.

Actchually ain't is now an actual word. It's been included in Webster's New American dictionary and that makes it so. Least last I heard.

To is where you go. Too is inclusive and two is a number. Simple.

BRAVO!

Hey Matt! S'up?

No me, at least last time I checked. How's your day in the great white North going. I've been copying music to my phone for the Odyssey and the Mac/Android interface has been kicking my azz.
