Youre favourate films!

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

actually, i dont think he'd mind this one so much :o

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 ;)
Not sure that will atone for the "favourate" films in the title, though. Tin hats ready?

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.

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... :twisted:

OK, no-one mention punctuation, capitalization or starting sentences with 'and'. :)

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.

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...

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.

If you wish. A period always comes before a closing quotation mark.

Incorrect: George said, "I don't get it".

It's not my job to criticise other people's spelling, grammar, punctuation, or whatever. I'm merely demonstrating the need to have a water-tight case when, or if, you feel the need to.

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!
