Who's behind the computer - Part 1

Why did you use an upper case "i" in "it's"?

oh for hells sake.....you guys quit picking apart my English, will ya?!
I grew up with an English teacher for a father, I'm SICK of being corrected!!!

 

[TimV]

Calm down, temptress, I was just defending you, you silly goose. Keith was on his high horsey, and I pointed out that he made a dumb mistake while correcting you. The point being people shouldn't throw rocks if they live in glass houses.

 

[Keith Richard]

Why did you use an upper case "i" in "it's"?

I was taught to begin a sentence with a capital letter.....and you?

OK, I'll refrain from here on in.

 

[Keith Richard]

Actually,the correct English is as Paige said,Yet and I. I'll put money on it and I'm not a gambling man

Melmoth, please feel free to consult any English grammer text book and let me know your findings.

OK, I'm demounting from the so-called high horsey

 

[nightbreed]

Uh no Paige and George are correct dude, it would be "Yet and I"
And why would you remove "Yet and" from the sentance? :?:

 

[Melmoth]

Melmoth, please feel free to consult any English grammer text book and let me know your findings.

me is the objective case of (I). I stand by what I said.

 

[Keith Richard]

me is the objective case of (I). I stand by what I said.

Does "Here's a pic of I in Seattle" sound correct? The litmous test is to remove the second party from the sentence.

"Yet and I are in Seattle and here's a pic of the two of us" is correct.

We're just going to have to agree to disagree Melmoth.

Keith, I'll try one more time, and then assume you are being a geek. You wrote:

Sorry, It's just one of my things

Now please be patient with me and explain why "It's" starts a sentence.

Alrighty everyone,

Let's just agree to disagree and move on. If you want to continue the grammar conversation, please move it to the Watering Hole.

Thanks,

Apologies to all. One too many "nips" last night. Oh, and TimV, yes I now see what you're getting at...my mistake, but no, I'm no geek
