Ian Benhamou Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Majuscule, Il y a plusieurs de KC'ers ici qui parlent le Français très bien. Je ne suis pas un d'eux malheureusement. J'ai été a une école Française quand j'etais petit, mais ça fait des années que je n'ai pas pratiqué mon Français!! J'aimerais bien mais je ne peux vraiment pas parler de la grammaire Française. aL Du Francais!!!! Avec tous les accents et de la bonne orthographe! Je suis tres impressione. Moi, je suis completemetn bilingue, mais comme j'ai fais mes etudes en anglais, mon orthographe est pourrit!

Joe Muscara Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I am a mechanical engineer by profession but my grammar is elementary at best. Oh, so you're one of the f$#%ers that caused that lady at the job I had to say to us, "you mechanical engineers can't write so we're going to set up a writing class for you."

ITGITC Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 You guys turned what could have been an interesting thread into a grammar lesson. No, many grammar lessons. Then we get the french. I think there is only one type of forum where this would happen - one full of keyboard players! C'mon, this would NEVER happen in say... a DRUMMER'S FORUM.

As long as the badgering is directed towards me, I think everyone is ok with it. But it's not all about you, Mr. Mogut. You just got lucky. Me? I use a spell-checker whenever it's available. And for words and phrases that I don't understand (primarily Aidan's postings... Bless His Heart), I use THIS. I'm pretty familiar with American slang, but EURO-slang is a completely different genre.

Threadslayer Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Since I am speaking of the past year, the past tense "there has been" would be correct. Wouldn't it? That would actually make a pretty cool contraction. There'sb'n - as in "There'sb'n quite enough posting from the mechanical engineering department thank you." Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect. -Mark Twain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would actually make a pretty cool contraction. There'sb'n - as in "There'sb'n quite enough posting from the mechanical engineering department thank you." Now I know you might find this difficult to believe, but I'm no professor of grammar. My understanding is that "There's" is a contraction of "There is", and "There has" should be written as, well, "There has" ? Furthermore, in the context of the OP, it sounds to me as though "There have been..." is better English than "There has been". And I am, in fact, English ! ! ! So where does this all lead us?..... Example: (Using Wastrels' excellent logic) - "There'veb'n many nonsensical posts on this forum in 2009" etc, etc.......... Here's to many more in 2010 Merry Xmas everyone - I hope Santa brings us all a dictionary & stuff!
