I know exactly what your saying, I was the same when my parents brought an i30 which then lead on to my girlfriend buying an i10 and I am really impressed at what good cars they are. I would never buy one myself but they suit their needs perfectly and they are excellent value for money and 5 years warranty says alot about hyundais confidence in the cars they are selling.

Never end a sentence with a preposition if you can find another word with which to end it.

im still angry that their owned by a foreigner.
but its good that they are expanding.

I should add that I'm probably guilty of several instances where I've ended a sentence with a preposition, or misplaced a comma.

No offence taken ... it just seemed that you hadn't understood or followed the banter we three were having in that we were basically taking the P*$$ out of each other in about a dozen posts ... would be happy for you to join in next time!

I tried joining in - hence the smiley.

And "offended" just worked so well in my two line poem.

Now I really must be off to find more shocking spelling. The work of the SAGP is never done.

I think it is very sad to moan about spelling on a car forum.

On a related theme...

"All the world almost are talking of Battles, and Armies
and Soldiers, and I think I must tell you about an Army on
paper. There are 2 armies set in battle array, the one side
are fine, straight, clean, good looking soldiers, upright and
true and they have a banner inscribed with the motto "The good
old English language."

The other side are a mixed lot from all parts. Poor,
feeble, lame and vulgar, some without an arm, some without a
leg and I think some without a head and their Banner has the
motto "Slang"

Hoorah for the good old English that tyrants cannot
gagge and I hope it will drive the alien army clean out of the
Field."


Written by an old lady, bemoaning the changes she had seen (in standards) in her lifetime, just before her death, in 1888. Some things don't change!

Yeah, her English was rubbish too. Was she an early chav?

A working class lady from a relatively poor background in the nineteenth century a chav?

Any chance of that sentence correction you were asked for?

It's not 'spelling police' so apologies for going off topic but this had to go somewhere grammar related.
