'None of us know exactly what will happen in the future.'

I was sending an email to someone I wanted to impress and only spotted it afterwards. UHGHGH.

This is one that I always get wrong. Subject 'none' is singular but I always use the plural of the verb.

Any other repeat offenders (not necessarily the same error)?

[skyatnight]

Confess your grammar sins here. Repent and ye shall be saved!

[skyatnight]

No takers? Ok, must just be me who dobs myself in then.

[BoysAreLikeDogs]

100 lines for you, my girl.

[ChicktoriaPeckham]

Yes, 100 line's.

[skyatnight]

I don't want your judgement, you sods! I want your confessions! This is meant to be a flawed-pedants bonding session. Where is your empathy?

[ChicktoriaPeckham]

We are two perfect to be empathetic.

[BoysAreLikeDogs]

lol at the chick

[skyatnight]

Shit - forgot the apostrophe:
'...flawed pedants' bonding...'
Or should that be:
'...flawed-pedants's bonding...'?

[skyatnight]

Git orf the fred, then!

My favourite was seen by DP outside a greengrocer's shop in Fife:

MELLINS 50p

[skyatnight]

Fife is a bit far north for 'Mellins', isn't it? The greengrocer had probably only seen and sold them a few times before. Probably during the heat wave in the 70s. So you could excuse the spelling mistake as being due to infamiliarity?

My sister is called 'Hellin' (Helen) a lot, if that helps?

[BoysAreLikeDogs]

Yes, I have a 'Hellin' in my circle, too.



Off to bed now, see you again

[skyatnight]

Night-night.
