John Posted July 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Why or how does this bother anyone? because its just terribly sad when a 9 year old can understand the concept, but grown men can not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevysoldier Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Its all due (not do) to (not too) texting and the internet. We have become so lazy and in such a hurry, that we have to cut corners everywhere we can. g2g, ttyl, thnx, b4...and on and on. I'll admit I am guilty of it to. The problem is when you are emailing or writing to someone and you type/write like this. YOU LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT! Kids these days don't even know what punctuation even is. And don't even care that there is a difference in their, there, they're, to, too, two....This is referred to as the dumbing down of America. Anyways, one of my big pet peeves is "a" and "an". "A" is used before a consonant. He has a book. "an" is used before a vowel. He has an old book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted July 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Its all due (not do) to (not too) texting and the internet. We have become so lazy and in such a hurry, that we have to cut corners everywhere we can. g2g, ttyl, thnx, b4...and on and on. i sort of agree. i mean i dont capitalize or use apostrophes in contractions when im posting here. but i at least try to spell everything correctly and use the correct words. i dunno maybe some just appreciate the written word more than others?Anyways, one of my big pet peeves is "a" and "an". "A" is used before a consonant. He has a book. "an" is used before a vowel. He has an old book.like this?a houran unicornan universityan european Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsvob03 Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 affect and effect... anyone?effect - think of the term side-effects. and effect is something that happens because of something else. Used to describe a result of an action. affect - how will this affect the way this works? basically its like thinking before doing. what will the affect be on this, if i do this!ugh. thats just me.

chevysoldier Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 like this?a houran unicornan universityan europeanyes yes, i stand corrected on my statement. Looks like you found this:WHEN TO USE -A-Use a if the next word begins with a consonant SOUND. This is a sound rule, NOT a spelling rule.a box a cat a university (university begins with a consonant sound) a unicorn (unicorn begins with a consonant sound) a European trip (European begins with a consonant sound) a hotel (hotel begins with a consonant sound)WHEN TO USE -AN-Use AN if the next word begins with a vowel SOUND. This is a sound rule, NOT a spelling rule.an atom an entrance an ice cream cone an uncle (uncle begins with a vowel sound) an hour (the h is silent, thus a vowel sound) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
