Grammar

[KCRack'em]

When comforting a grammar Nazi, I always say, "They're, there, their. It will be okay."
This works for comforting pools players after a miss, too.

Maybe if I focused on putting more grammar on the cue ball rather than english, it'll improve my game...?

The 25-cent expression for words that sound/look alike but actually have nothing to do with one another is "homonyms." And you can be absolutely certain that anybody who knows that can't play a lick. (This one can't.) GF

Your trying to be funny. :smile:

This actually would be correct in some situations, e.g., "Your trying to be funny is getting old."
I love our language, and not just because I damn sure can't learn another. They're all Greek to me.

My expressions clock in at around a dollar each, but I can still play a little...

Grammar matters!

We are all products of our environment. It's wrong to judge people by how they speak or spell. It is what it is. Enough drama on this site without slamming people for their spelling. Good grief, phonics is not even spelled phonetically!! Should be fonix! Hav uh nis da!

So those that look/sound different but are closely related would be heteronyms?
