Common GFY and message board mistakes - GoFuckYourself.com

EroticySteve · 01-19-2006, 03:20 PM

I'm sure that this isn't the first thread of it's type but it's the first one this afternoon.

I'm not perfect at spelling or grammar by any means. Yet, I do find some people's writing amusing and wonder how they were able to get through high school.

Loser not Looser

A lot not alot

to and too are two separate words, each with their own usage.

you are = you're as in, "You're so right, I didn't see it that way."

your = the right way to say something like "You dropped YOUR wallet"

Nismo · 01-19-2006, 03:21 PM

www.engrish.com is great, but they get a bye on our language. I completely excuse their errors, they often just use American text because it looks cool.

I'm sure that the reason Japanese and Chinese people are always laughing at white people is mainly because that Chinese character tattoo that you thought said, "Strength" really says, "I'm an ignorant prick"

betsy · 01-19-2006, 03:29 PM

I thought "it's" was short for "it is" and "its" was actually the posessive. yes, no?

English isn't my first language and those are some of the mistakes I make.
Loser/looser I got that one nailed.

a lot took me a while to figure out.

to & too still have no clue I chose one on random.

Your & you're I know the difference but I still make mistakes

I think "too" is for "also," or when something is excessive: "too much" or, "I think so too."

Whereas "to" would be for "I am going to the store" or "I like to make money from porn."

ronaldo · 01-19-2006, 03:36 PM

I see they're, their and there misused alot.

je_rome · 01-19-2006, 03:38 PM

Also add:

They're = They are

Their = something belonging to someone as in "Oh no, they forgot THEIR hammock."

There = as in "Hey, look over there."

To = "I'm going TO the store."

Too = "I'm going to the store, you should come along TOO."

Thankfully yes, it makes it that much easier for those of us who at least try.

That mistake for some reason really annoys me! And it's probably the most common one on here.

Yes. Correct.

"It's" is the contraction. "Its" is the Genitive (possessive).

GFY is a community of webmasters worldwide, we all make mistakes and
language barriers will certainly not stop them in doing business here

if there's person who speak English from a different planet, there could only
be one GFY member and everyone would agree to me.. i ain't telling lol

KingK7 · 01-19-2006, 04:33 PM

Hmm, I was actually not aware of "alot / a lot". Learn something new every day I guess.

ronaldo · 01-19-2006, 05:38 PM

Ooh. Forgot about then and than.

Police? No way.

More of a safety officer than a cop.

Hey I make mistakes too, but for anyone who speaks English as their native language should know these things.

It seems most don't.

That is all.

Language is changing.

Maybe "alot" will actually become a word?
