Not sure that will atone for the "favourate" films in the title, though. Tin hats ready?Quiff Boy wrote:actually, i dont think he'd mind this one so muchBlack Planet wrote:Me too.Padstar wrote:I can feel Richeys anger building!

it has actually sparked some debate about why peopel like they films they do... rj seems to have more of a problem with endless (and pointless) "top 10" lists that dont actually tell you anything interesting

This is dog rubbish! I asked richey if he corrected vlaamse. He does not. He will ignore this, if he knows what good for him is.
Be careful..........

ooh! get her! you are quite correct my little belgian chum; i am totally unqualified to correct vlaamse (flemish?). this does not, however, impinge on my ability to correct your english.Candover Premiere wrote:This is dog rubbish!

firstly, when used as a possessive it's "your" not "youre". "you're" (and please note the apostrophe) is a contraction of you are. secondly, the word is correctly spelt "favourite" rather than "favourate". and, finally, the second part of your final sentence should read "if he knows what is good for him."
now, there's really no need to feel bad about this. english is a wonderfully idiosyncratic langauge and you already appear to have a better grasp of it than many native speakers. and whilst i speak no other languages (because sooner or later everybody else learns english) i'd be grateful if a native speaker took time out to give me a few pointers. so sit back and chill out.
oh - and unless you're really trying to upset me try to refrain from starting the same topic more than once. especially if it's as rubbish as this one...

well the lack of capitals is obviously an affectation. and there's actually nothing wrong with starting a sentence with "and". it tends to be discouraged when children are taught the basics of sentence structure so as to avoid them breaking proper sentences down into fragments. but so long as what follows is capable of standing alone as a sentence there really is no problem.DerekR wrote:OK, no-one mention punctuation, capitalization or starting sentences with 'and'.
which leaves punctuation. do please enlighten me as to where you feel my post was incorrectly punctuated. none of us are perfect and i, unlike some, am always ready to learn...
"contradictions are meaningless, there's nothing to betray"
Any chance of one of the 'fact finders' on here doing a trawl through the archives and then you can run a poll on which is your favourite 'favourite something' list. Or maybe you could just list them? Say your top 35 or something but for those undecided you are allowed to post back and change your mind at least 15 times and/or increase your top tally to 50. Tedious muppets.

It's not my job to criticise other people's spelling, grammar, punctuation, or whatever.

it's a fair point and you'll notice that where i quoted more than a single word the full stop (i'm not american so it's not a period) is fully enclosed by the quotation marks. my mistake was probably in using quotation marks rather than highlighting the individual words with italics, bold or underlining. ah well, mea culpa. again!JansenClone wrote:A period always comes before a closing quotation mark.RicheyJames wrote:firstly, when used as a possessive it's "your" not "youre".
