Re: did the English language change when I wasn't looking?

  • Wow... Thats nice.

  • I think it did.  Changes include the above, pluralizing with apostrophe-s ("mom's") and the new first person plural possessive that makes me tear my hair out: "It is my husband and I's anniversary."

    It took me a while....but I am assuming it's "knifes" instead of knives....

    that's a pretty big typo for a mainstream email....If I were them, I'd be Embarrassed

    Ick! I know every generation decries the descent of the English language, but with chatting and texting, it seems to be dying even more painfully!!

  • Send them an email.
    I did that with one that I got from a large company.

    They did the hated "you're" and "your".

    I wrote and gave them a grammar lesson.  They wrote back later that day.  I was impressed!

    that's awesome- i've written before, too. they said "thank you", but the next time their email came out, it was still spelled wrong (lynwood versus lynnwood).....  oh well.
