"We'd be lucky if you had used you're instead of your"

BOOM HEADSHOT

Both tenses can be applied to this situation, so both are in fact correct.

**** reads above post for grammar or spelling mistakes.....damn****

Syntax is a part of grammar, and given how horribly phrased the statement actually was, you could indeed have picked up on grammar issues.

Just spotted this on PCG and it's pretty sweet how it's done.

Yeah up yours, Joe!

Hope there are a few more people on tonight. It has been very quite these last few days.

Sidewinder, you have no idea how long it took me to realise Firefly was you... The giveaway was location and 680 - after wndsr ribbed you for the 680 yesterday.

I for one will not be on, it is a Fri night afterall!

If you're trying to make us think you have some sort of life, we all know it's BS. I know you're doing the "resist logging on to PC and watch TV instead so people think I'm sociable and out with friends" trick

 

[Rroff]

Rroff ya n00b, you made your vid private

Doh was supposed to be unlisted not private, looks like they've changed around the options again since the last time I uploaded.

Wasn't anything that interesting anyhow.

 

[Cookeh]

I dont have a TV license...(the rest might be accurate, though, who knows...?)

Some of us actually have a life/friendships outside of a PC on a weekend

Wow, that is a whole new level of grammar commando.

Was a jab at Joe, not you (Though I suppose it is indirectly related to you... )

I don't mind the jab at me, it's just when Syntax is thrown in it goes to a whole different level. A level I struggle to engage on.

I am somewhat of a prescriptivist grammar nazi, in all honesty - no harm meant of course, just poking fun

A descriptivist may well have let you off for the syntax involved, as it is hardly earth-shattering!

Yep that has confused a few people on here before you.

Just make sure you remember your bullet proof vest

Full riot gear is laid out, ready and waiting

If you were you would know that the comma after "nazi" is not needed in that sentence Also, a semi-colon would be more appropriate instead of the comma after "course"

OK this thread along with the game is slowly dying.

I'm off to play Dogs.
