Learn English with Pighead

Pighead

Bad punctuation,terrible grammar,text speak and awful spelling.What on earth is going on.Has the subject of English been taken off the sylabus?Don't get me wrong Pighead is prone to the odd error every now and again and i'm sure one of you eagle eye cherrys will point out all my mistakes with glee,but lets be fair the queens english is being butchered in After Hours.Murdered even
So with that in mind Pighead shall pass down hios wisdom and give some tips for the youngsters.No talking at the back please

Its - belonging to it.
E.g. "We didn't see its appeal until MAJD started a forum for it."
Unusual since apostrophes usually indicate the possessive - this form is an exception because of the following:

It's - contraction of 'it is'.
E.g. "It's time to ban Pighead."

Of - belonging to (a thing or collection), or characteristic.
E.g. "This is the first of many lessons i shall be dishing out", "Of course we all know that nobody will listen."

Off - the opposite of "on".
E.g. "Get off my boards or I'll shoot you with this gun said the Administrator to poor Pighead."

There - a location, or an event descriptor.
E.g. "The Feedback Forum is over there", "There were many posts today villifying poor Gordon."

Their - belonging to them.
E.g. "Spammers are being told to pull their socks up.Their posts are improving steadily."

They're - contraction of 'they are'.
E.g. "They're all to get access to the sex and sexuality forum because they're smut merchants."

AND LAST BUT DEFINITELY DEFINITELY DEFINITELY NOT LEAST

Your - belonging to you.
E.g. "Pighead your posts makes me want to vomit,get a life you loser"

You're - contraction of 'you are'.
E.g. "You're driving me crazy but i love you and i want to marry me,you're eyes are like moonlit lakes and i like you're shoulders too."

Giblet sticky this for me when you get a chance.Good lad.Talk soon buddies(or is it buddys)?

Knowing you this is tongue in cheek but that says

"You are driving me crazy but i love you and i want to marry me,you are eyes are like moonlit lakes and i like you are shoulders too."

Which of course is horribly wrong. Also put spaces after you full stops!!!!

If its all sarcasm, then I tip my hat to you

Brilliant.That one really irks me.

Lose - the act of losing.
E.g. "Gordon sighed as he realised he was doomed to lose the debate."

Loose - the condition of not being tight.
E.g. "Loose political morals allowed Pighead out of prison."

Spaces after full stops pighead. Baby steps I suppose...

I'll take it that it's for satirical effect that there's so many typos and grammatical mistakes?

is_that_so

and then "their" is "where" as in

"where where you?"

Ah Jesus this is just getting ridiculous now.Ignore Pighead,tell him to practice what he preaches before he gets on his high horse.
Actually scrap that,quitters never win and winners never quit so:

Defence - the action of defending something.
E.g. "Pigheads defence of his reputation was pretty flimsy"

Defense - the mechanism of defending something.
E.g. "In Gordons defence it was said with tongue in cheek."

Decent - good or wholesome.
E.g. "That's a decent point Atlas."

Descent - the act of descending.
E.g. "After 10,000 feet Pighead and Beruthial slowed and began their romantic descent."

Miss nesf(sic) I am sorry but you are wrong!Employ one of your staff to take note of any future Pighead posts and you will see the grammatical mistakes will have reduced quite significantly.
Thus this thread is merited.

Pighead, I take my hat off to you Sir.
You are Zen-like in your Pigheadedness.

Ah now Piggy, everyone knows 'defense' is an American word meaning 'legitimate use of health and education budget' .

This isn't your blog, and I'm not a miss, darling.

You should also put a space after any punctuation, like so.
