    I know this might seem weird. So i decided to bring it here.

    Have you ever noticed people out walking don't seem to dress properly

    for our weather.

    You know always bring a jacket in Ireland, cuz you never know when its gonna lash.

    Looking out the window today, 3 young chaps walking/rolling(funny walk young fella's do, i'm massive-cool)

    Rain starts, light drizzle, then begins to lash. now they keep walking, not a bother!!!

    Maybe i'm just getting old, but i would have tried to seek shelter.

    I think it's time your made peace with rain given where you live!! :)

    If it rains, I'll just saunter along like I normally do. What else can I do? Obviously if I'm out and about and I don't want whatever I'm wearing to get wet I'll make an effort not to, otherwise I don't see the point. It's just rain.

    Don't get me wrong i actually love the rain.

    But when out and about, try and bring a jacket just incase.

    your sentence made no sense then.

    or is it you're sentence?

    You are shortens to you're.

    Your is possessive. As in 'your clothes are over there'.

    In this case an apostrophe is not indicative of possession, which is where you are going wrong.

    Seriously though, it's you're. You're is short for you are. Unless I'm completely missing what you said.

    As me aul Ma used to say...

    "There's many a person in Glasnevin or in Hospital would love to feel the rain on their face one last time"

    Whenever I get caught in a shower, I just walk along and enjoy it as much as I can. :)

    I often get caught in the rain, inappropriately dressed. I hate carrying a jacket.

    It's spelt "grammar" not "grammer". If you're going to insult them at least use a word that exists.

    That sentence doesn't make sense. "Your a real anorak" - your is possessive. So you could say "your anorak" or even "your real anorak" (as opposed to my fake anorak) but not "your a real anorak". If you want to say that we are real anoraks, then you need to say "you're a real anorak".

    Ah I get it, you were trying to write a completely nonsensical sentence.

    'spelt' always annoyed me. I don't know why as it's gramatically correct.

    no I was intent on turning this thread into a sad grammar bashing thread for under 17's.

    Yes, you didn't use "you are" because you were using a contraction of it, which should appear as "you're", not "your". There should be an apostrophe in "wasn't", a contraction of "was not".

    As for the rain, sure isn't that what we have pubs for?

    Gosh, I'd say you could nearly apply that policy to anywhere in the world you're/you are using the English language. Or keep arguing long past the point where you're/you are shown to be wrong. You're Your call.
