The contraction works, too. Just enunciate a bit more.  "Should've" ________________________________________ -- Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past me I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. -- | |||

Thank you, sigfreund. One of my biggest pet peeves. Why My biggest pet peeve, as far as improper English use is concerned, is fitment, when referring to fitting of parts.This message has been edited. Last edited by: 12131, Q | |||

Not to derail the thread too much, but mine is "cordage". Want me to not watch your video? Say the word cordage. Go ahead...say it.  It's called rope, 550 cord, or string...maybe even twine. ________________________________________________________ It is long past time for a Convention of States. The Founding Fathers gave us this tool to fix an out of control government and we need to use it. | |||

True story...Early grade school we had a pop grammar quiz. Write one or two sentences about something you were supposed to do but didn't. "I spilled water on the floor and Mom slipped and almost fell. I shoulda cleaned the water up." Miss O'Brien, "It is should have young man; should h-a-v-e." "C'mon, Miss Obrien. There's no "V" in shoulda." I did not get an "A" ____________ Pace | |||

I made the mistake of correcting a friend on this one after about a decade of him using “of” instead of “have.” He took offense, said some angry shit. For the next ten years and he more, he has continued to insist on using “of.” Baffling. ______________________________________________ "If the truth shall kill them, let them die.” Endeavoring to master the subtle art of the grapefruit spoon. | |||

A traveler arrived at Logan airport in Boston. He was anxious to try the fish that he had heard so much about, so he got into a taxi and said, “Take me some place where I can get scrod.” The driver, who was a Harvard English major working part time to earn tuition money, replied, “I have had that request a few times, but never in the past pluperfect subjunctive.” הרחפת שלי מלאה בצלופחים | |||
