    100% on the second go. First go I thought the arrows were to select the higher or lower answer and was very perplexed as to why I had gotten both wrong.

    91%. The time questions and the whom got me.

    Grammer is not perfect so I is well happys with that


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,736 ✭✭✭Irish Guitarist


    The worst type of grammar Nazis are the American ones that correct you when you spell 'realize' as 'realise' or put a 'u' in 'color'.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,665 ✭✭✭Tin Foil Hat


    97%
    Although, my only mistake:-
    Bored of, bored by, or bored with? (answers)

    I’m bored with this. X
    I’m bored by math class.
    Explanation
    Although ‘of’ is commonly used after ‘bored’, this is technically incorrect. Always use ‘with’ or ‘by’ in formal writing.

    I'm not a garmmar nazi, but where did this 'could of, should of, would of' bullsh1t come from? It drives me fukking nuts.

    Someone, somewhere heard "Could've" and assumed "ve" was "of".
    I hate it with a passion too :mad:

    84% grammar guru.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,906 ✭✭✭✭PhlegmyMoses


    100%.

    IRL, I would use "I'm bored of" instead of "I'm bored with".

    Yup. I knew that. It wasn't an entirely serious question.
    It's not bad grammar. It's not bad spelling. It's plain, simple illiteracy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,080 ✭✭✭EoghanIRL


    Nein nein nein ! Wir müssen die ganze Welt erfassen.

    Because when you say 'should have' we often shorten it to 'should've' which is fine but the 've' sounds like 'of' which sounds like 'ov' when you say it. Say 'of' out loud. You actually 'ov'.

    In speech, it sounds exactly the same.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 80 ✭✭Selandia


    100%! Yes! Knew I done good!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,731 ✭✭✭✭osarusan


    100%, even though one of the questions is basically incorrect - the one about definitive relative clauses.
