  • Gramatics..

    Since this site/forum is well above any of the other forums in every other way I thought maybe we could try to improve it even more by using the correct words when we write.
    A very good examples to start with.

    1.
    Wrong: I brought a new Escort Cosworth.
    Correct: I BOUGHT a new Escort Cosworth.

    In this example the person paid money for the car... The word brought is totally different. One example of how to use the word correctly: "I brought my wife with me to the RS meeting".

    2.
    Wrong: I would of enjoyed the trackday.
    Correct: I would have enjoyed the trackday.

    Rule:
    Of is a preposition. Do not use of in the place of have after verbs such as could, should, would, might and must.

            Was gonna pull you up on "A very good examples" for being both singular AND plural at the same time....

            but then i realised you are from norway and your english is probably better than mine , so we'll let ya off eh!! haha


            Back on topic though yes i agree , bad grammar is a particular bugbear of mine.
            I especially hate text talk , theres just no need on a forum , it isn't as though you have to pay more per letter or anything is it!

              Spell checking by the Norwegians, haha.

              Its not as bad on here as PF, but still a lot of basic fuck ups that even us foreign users know how to spell right.
