Thank you for your helpful comments particularly ‘ slayer ‘ for pointing out my deliberate mistake of ommitting the comma in my earlier reply, fully aware that some plonker what thinks hes better’n me would draw my attention to it.
Also a big ‘ Hello ‘ to ‘ smileysfriend’ who I somehow suspect I already know……I shant be around much today unfortunately, but I know that I can fully rely on other’s to keep a watchful eye on the correct use of grammer and punctuation on’site.
:) :)s’ok- i don’t normally bother as my grammar is pretty poor on here but as you so correctly said “f/cukin diabolical” it only seemed right to pointit out
It what you say, it’s the way that you say it
:D :DI’ll add you to my christmas card list Slayer, I like a man that can admit to his faults. :D :D
It is officially acceptable to use an apostrophe to denote te plural of abbreviated intitials such as CD’s, MOT’s etc. I heard this on Radio4, coming from the mouth of a language expert.
Language changes – the more so now with netspeak and texting language. How long before ‘U’ replaces ‘you’ in normal English. It is not just English where changes are happenning because of technology. I’ve noticed on French chat boards that apostrophes within words are left out, so d’essence (of petrol) becomes dessance, for example.
Land Rover apparently decreed that the word ‘Discoverys’ is the correct plural of their Discovery vehicle.
ploosa change!!

This is because (in the context of it being the brand name of their vehicle) ”Discovery” is a proper noun. They therefore heven’t breached the rules relating to the pluralisation of words ending in ”y” – ‘discovery’ (discoveries).
