Odin

I was going to destroy him in his petty war over semantics.

Before I sign out for the day...

1. When was the last time you heard anyone say "Do the maths"?

2. You are bastardizing your own language. It's spelled m-a-t-h-E-m-a-t-i-c-s. Dumbass.

3. Don't is a contraction for "do not" and therefore requires an apostrophe between the 'n' and 't'.

Asshole.

1. I'm english, where people say maths all the time you know that little country where the language you speak has come from.
2. dont does not require an apostrophe, don't, I dont think so.
3. How petty are you being over others enjoyment on these boards?















































4.Exactly.

2) dont definitely does require the apostrophe....don't

The word don't, most certainly does need an apostrophe! You can't really slag someone else's grammar off if you can't get it right either!

And just to pick up on your point number three, these games are ruining a lot of people's enjoyment of the board.

Do they use run-on sentences too?

Showing omission of letters

Apostrophes are used in contractions. A contraction is a word (or set of numbers) in which one or more letters (or numbers) have been omitted. The apostrophe shows this omission. Contractions are common in speaking and in informal writing. To use an apostrophe to create a contraction, place an apostrophe where the omitted letter(s) would go. Here are some examples:

don't = do not

I'm = I am

he'll = he will

who's = who is

shouldn't = should not

didn't = did not

could've= could have (NOT "could of"!)

'60 = 1960

3. How petty are you being over others enjoyment on these boards?

For every person who DOES enjoy participating in those threads, there are dozens of us who believe those threads take away from our enjoyment of the Other Music section.




























Exactly.

Maths is the term an English person would use, short for mathematics. For some reason Americans seem to drop the S off the end. There are a number of odd things that Americans do with the English language! Another thing I never understood, was the phrase "I could care less". If you are trying to make a point that you don't care at all, surely the correct phrase would be "I couldn't care less"?

In England it is very much correct and as explained in now closed thread logical, math would = singular, maths would = plural, if all that math consisted of was 0 + 1 then maybe math would work, hence why in English it is maths, mathematics etc more than one.

And yes may I be chastised forever for my lazy mistake with don't my English is getting lazy like the american version, god save me.:eek:
