Lots of my posts from earlier today vanished ! I'm sure I didn't dream them. Fortunately my post in Hash's HB thread survived :D

Did something go wrong ?

There should be no apostraphe there m8y :)


Uses of apostraphes -

To signal ownership, using an apostraphe and an 's' at the end of the noun, or if the noun ends in an 's' in the normal form, an aposraphe is added on its own. Never use an aposraphe if something belongs to "it" though, just use "its".

To miss out part of a word. Common uses are to miss out the 'o' in "not" and to miss out the 'i' in "is". Eg: "He does not", "He doesn't". "That is a nice cake", "That's a nice cake".


Ph34r my grammer :D

"aint" = ain't (?!)

"gcse" = "GCSE" should be in capitals as it is an acronym.

"english" = English (capitals again)

"mmmm" = hmmm, this would be an inquisitive hum rather than a murmer

"you're" = your (aaaaaargh!)

"'cos" = no apostrophe, "cos" is shortened form

"Don't", "I'll", "'em" = correct, you're learning :)

4/10, see me after class.

Hate to rain on your parade, but acronyms have to be initials of words to make ANOTHER word to be an acronym. Otherwise it's just initials. As far as I know Gcse isn't a word. ;)

Fs, cama, bring your avatar back! It's harder to identify your posts now, when skim-reading.

FFS, or even better 'FS because you miss out the word "for".

Everyone says "FS" nowadays. Everyone. :(

I recently saw someone ask what ffs means... Not sure whether it was in IRC, or in a forum, however whoever it was was using fs...

I get the impression it was here actually... Not sure in what thread, or by who...


Ffs is still dominant on Gamesnet, and presumably US forums. I don't think i've ever seen someone use "fs" on Gamesnet infact...

To get back to the topic...

;)

There was an upgrade of the forum software/servers today Wij, and the database was rolled back by about an hour or so, hence you losing the posts you made during said time.
