Spelling lesson no 1

[owner_drivers]

Sorry, but…
when reading posts it is starting to annoy me that so many people use the wrong “there” and “their”.

I know ( notice it is know and not “now” or “no” ) that you don’t need to be a genius at english language to drive a truck but it is soooooo annoying when reading posts on tinternet…

when referring to belonging to someone use THEIR - the one with the “I” in it - refers to a person - it is “their” opinion - it is “their” vehicle.

when refering to a position use THERE. as in tHERE - It was over “there” , they went “there”

Ok rant over…

Agree, as long as people understand the post I don’t see a problem either.

I agree with you OD’s

Doesn’t make my blood boil though!

Koop where Ownerdrivers had had ‘had’, had had ‘had had’; ‘had had’ was the correct answer.

Pick the bones out of that!

the thing with the english language is it makes no sense at all. Their there they’re all sound the same but have totally different meanings.
On the internet there is a new language developing which doesn’t respect the old spelling and grammar rules. You’ve got to get used to it.
