I need to contact some people on official business for the bank. I diligently sent the letter off to our corpoate communications department to get it approved, and have just received an email back asking if I could:

"please provide X and I with a list"

aaaaaaaaaaagggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhh

I am dreading opening their 'corrected' version of copy!

I read today in HELLO (it's my neighbours and she will pass it on to me - I wish she wouldn't, but it's better than the HEAT and CLOSER she also reads!) that Shiloh Jolie-Pitt is 'she and Brad's biological child'.
so without Brad in there it would be 'she biological child'.

Oh goodness. You have ended a sentence with a preposition in pedants' corner. How could you?

WaynettaSlob · 04/03/2008 15:29

well technically I didn't actually end the sentence because I put in "....."!!
But yes, I did actually consider that fact when I posted the thread

Okay, can you tell me what the rest of the sentence is?

How about:

I want to rip off my arm and use it to hit this woman with no brain.

I think that would actually be "she's biological child", cm - not sure if that's worse or not

I always think of Dame Edna and "excuse I" when I see one of those.

WW - the sentence was as written- 'She and Brad's', not 'she's and Brad's'. I suppose it could have been 'her and Brad's biological child'? Or even 'her biological child with Brad Pitt'?
