Go ahead and flame me - but advice and advise are not the same word

[KenJax Tree]

I got my start in LE while I was in the 3rd grade.

Did you give tickets for bikes that weren't properly parked?

 

[AKDoug]

I graduated from UR, does that count?

Nope

 

[hseII]

Two, to, too

Is it that hard?
Seriously

We have the intertube at our fingertips

It's" to" unless it's at the end of a sentence.
I want a to buy a new saw.
I want her to buy me a new saw too.

Did you give tickets for bikes that weren't properly parked?

Usually for parking their bikes in the wrong direction. Head-in parking only sign and the little chits still backed um in.

And, I was a Captain on the school crossing guard patrol. Had a force of 12 working for me. Yup......those were the good ole days.........

There,their,and they're has to be the one that gets butchered the most

True dat.............

The one that annoys me the most is sell and sale being swapped.

You have something for sale.
You want to sell something.

These words are not interchangeable.

 

[1Alpha1]

Certain people have problems saying asked and axed.

Drives me nuts.

Do you get to honk the horn?

Nope, but i'm learnin'.

I haven't a clue how spell bad words, so I'll just substitute a word I can spell.
Example: I don't give a flying chainsaw for this chainsawing thread!

Irregardless isn't a word. If it were, it would mean without-without regard.

The correct word is regardless.

 

[Stihl 041S]

Irregardless isn't a word. If it were, it would mean without-without regard.

The correct word is regardless.

Deceleration is not a word.
Acceleration is a change in velocity. Positive or negative.

Except for the great unwashed.

And you damp sound. You dampen with a liquid.

 

[Gypo Logger]

What about irregardlessness is that just as redundant?

 

[Stihl 041S]

What about irregardlessness is that just as redundant?

That is Uber Kool.


If the person understands. The language works.
Otherwise grunt and point.

 

[Gypo Logger]

Irretardless?

 

[Jon1212]

Irretardless?

Man, you is ignernt.

 

[Philbert]

'Flammable' or 'inflammable'?

Look guys, I know this isn't high school and these things are not huge, life threatening deals - but they are annoying. The mis-use of advice and advise is particularly annoying. Advise is a verb and is pronounced "ad-viz" (long "i"). It is the act of giving advice, a noun (pronounced ad-vis, also long "i")

"Advice and advise not only have different meanings but are also pronounced differently. Advise is a verb, and advice is a noun. So advice is what is given, while the act of giving advice is called advising (or to advise)."

So, please - either ask FOR ADVICE, or asked TO BE ADVISED.

OK, I'll take more of my meds now and shut up.

WHAT we have HEE-YAH is a FAIL-YAH to ComMYOOOONicate!!

And if I post my saw "for sell are trade" on the Trading Post......would that bug you? Maybe just a tad?
