[PEDANT ALERT] MNHQ - on the home page, can you please correct your glaring error?

[MamaG]

Thank you.

(wonders how may MNers are clicking on "home" to see if they can spot it)

Arse! I forgot the ?

Ha ha!

Well looking at this thread title, is "glaring" the appropriate word? Do we even know what MamaG's beef was?

am guessing it's the missing word "teacher"

yy it was teacher

dont pick on m'y grammer pleease Im only the lowlie postr

And how should you spell 'grammar'?

...and everything else in that post...

Ahem......

My dog has a red coat.
Does yours have one?
Does your child's have one?
Does James's have one?
Does his have one?
Does mine have one?

You don't need to keep repeating "dog". I think the the confusion comes from

Does your dog have one?
Does your child's dog have one?
vs
Does yours have one?
Does your child's have one?

In the latter pair "your child's" is like "yours" rather than "your" and doesn't need another noun as it is a noun itself sort of (would we be calling it a noun phrase maybe?).

As counsel for the defence, I rest my case. I'll be back for the final summing up. Unless I'm talking crap, in which case I'll run away back to the shed, and take no further part in the discussion.

i htought oyu had a pigeon tech

Tech - about that shed... we had to 'fess up. See posting of Fri 29-Jun-07 11:06:59 here The tarpaulin is in the post, btw.

THat is just such an un-Tech post! Are they putting soething in his coffee? Or have they checked the back garden to see if someone else is typing from his laptop?
