Geez everyone must be pms'ing today. I have seen this sort of response before, and rarely does anyone get into a snit about it. just sayn'.
This was not to you. It was to the other posters who decided to diss me for defending my countrymen from an obvious misapprehension - to repeat, Never on my almost 53 years of living in the United States have i ever heard anyone say congrashulations. I have traveled (spending at least 20 days) in 49 of the 50 states, and have lived in 17, as an adult. As the post was about WORDS, PRONUNCIATION and LANGUAGE USAGE, and you made the errors, i addressed them. As far as i know, this is an OPEN FORUM. I have as much right as you do to express my opinion and respond, as does anyone else . If someone doesn't like it, or me, they can just not read me. If they think i wrote something untoward, they can report me to the moderators.
Very interesting. You obviously are ingorant regarding people's spelling here or you may have noticed than many here who both missuse grammar and misspell words do so because English is not their first language. I have never publicly corrected anyone whose first language is not English. As a matter of fact, i do not even say people in/from other countries, i say people in/from different countries as i did in my post, because i do not make the assumption that English speakers are primary, and everyone else is other/secondary. FYI - German is my first language.
For my part, I use UK english both in spelling and Grammar for that was what I was educated classically in (The Queens English). I am however aware that much of the English used in both the US and Australia have developed a flavour and spelling of their own. I woill point out but not hide (Then why even mention it?) behind it, I am dyslexis As you are aware of this, then perhaps what you are what you accuse others of, being lazy. which means I usually write in word with spell check on then cut and paste my posts here. Something I haven't the time to do at the moment.
You were also dissing people for being lazy.
"What ever!" People using it usually are displaying a lack of both vocabulary or the ability to form a proper responce. Alternatively, they are just lazy and if so they demonstrate a complete of respect for people they make that somment to. I would think that in your original post - which is what i was responding to - you would take the time, as you took the time to formulate the thoughts. Don't bother to appologise for it will not be accepted, your crassness goes before you. I have nothing to apologize for. I was in no way crass, nor snippy as someone else suggested, nor rude, as was later emended.
I accept that for some countries or areas, going to go may be correct grammar. However when I was educated it was not and it seems to be incorrecr as far as Englist Grammar (as in England) goes to, or so I am informed when I raised this question a few weeks ago with several accademic associates of mine. It's not a big deal really I keep it on my banned list because I was educated differently.
I never made a comment about going to go.
If you want to take exception to something i said, why not take it to what i said to YOU, not what i said to someone else. As i said to those others, i have seen many posts similar to mine, without all the venomous responses. I wonder if it had come from someone you/they knew, would it have received the same vitriolic response. I will repeat, this is an open forum. You will very likely receive reponses you do not like, disagree with, or take exception to. Life is like that.
