 Seen on BBC 1 this evening - a advert for BBC2 -
"The Apprentice - Your fired" (sic)
It's the end of the world.

 |
 I noticed that too! And swore at my television.
Unbelievable.
|
|
 Go to the BBC website and you can swear a whole lot more. It's riddled with shpellink mistooks!
|
|
 Hey ho, at least it wasn't BBC3, in which case the title would be something like,
"The Apprentice - UR f***ing fired, U ginger t***er"
followed by repeats of 2 pints of prozak and a packet of dirty jokes for the sake of shock value
|
|
No No Paddy,
It is the aniversoroo of "Ello Ello"
They are not speelling mistooks, they are spoking "Officer Crabtree!"
;))
|
|
 > "The Apprentice - Your fired"
They are now... (we wish)
|
|
Ahem...
Seen on BBC 1 this evening - a advert for BBC2 -
I think that should have been an advert.
|
|
Oh forgive me for my typo.....
You'll be slagging Steve off next for starting a sentence with 'and'.
;o)
Internet forum / chatroom speak isn't quite on a par with Auntie BBC broadcasting to the nation, now is it?
|
|
 ...though making a grammatical error in a posting about grammatical errors could be seen as amusing!
|
|
It was a simple typo with one keystroke lost - and I *do* know to use the extended indefinite article 'an' prior to words that start with a noun - not quite the same as using a completely different word with three keystrokes deliberately left out due to lack of knowledge - but ISWYM.
I don't make them(sic) grammatical errors, like ;o)
<shuffles feet and legs* it>
*doh!
:)
|
|
 That should have been "an noun" then?
<runs away quickly>
:0D
|
|
<grabs Scott's collar, tickles his ear and exits very quickly before he sees who has done it>
|
|
 There is nothing wrong with starting a sentence with 'And', though in English at school we were told in no uncertain terms that only John Steinbeck could.
|
|
I've been getting it wrong all my life then, as I have always used "an" when the following word begins with a vowel. bugger !!
|
|
That's right, Barry, I was deliberately making mistakes in the post of 15.07 as a wind-up seeing as I made one in my first post!
An with a vowel is correct.

|
|
Oooh you'll be giving Bob (and half the folk in the Bennachie thread) weird ideas about me!
lol
|
|
 LOL.
An entertaining bit of video. NPC, your secret is safe with me, for a fee...
Note correct use of the word an. My inglish teecher she wood be right proud of us, an that eh ?
|
|
 Ninja, when you wrote "An with a vowel is correct", did you mean ""An" with a vowel is correct"?
|
|
No, I meant to say, "Anne with a vowel is correct, as she likes them so much".
;-o
