My niece, Zoe, sent me this, in a WhatsApp, she said, “Was this your handiwork, you pedant?”
That's not pedantry. It's just the difference between correct and incorrect.They’ll never see it as making themselves look a little uneducated, Zoe’s brother recently sent me a WhatsApp from his holiday, showing a view across a beach, to the sea.
The accompanying text read, “View from are balcony.”
I guess that he meant our balcony.
My ex-wife used to say 'are house' but would spell it our.
When I pointed it out she said it's spelled 'our' and pronounced 'are'.
I suggested she look in the dictionary for the pronunciation of 'hour' and then of 'our'.
They are, of course the same. Nothing to do with 'are'.
Silly cow. We are very much divorced.

Small differences can have a massive impact on meaning!

Bit extreme John, the grammar and spelling challenged nieces and nephew are from her side of the family, and hailing from Peckham, she's hardly the shining light of the English as it should be spoken society, e.g. "I ain't got none", "£6.75 for a glass of Viognier, that's nuffink.", "Danny, get us a steak knife.", I think that I'll turn a deaf ear and hang on to her for a while though.When I pointed it out she said it's spelled 'our' and pronounced 'are'.

With people like this I like to explain things like the difference between:
1. Helping your uncle Jack off a horse
2. Helping your uncle jack off a horse
Small differences can have a massive impact on meaning!
shouldn't there be a comma or two in this?1. Helping your uncle Jack off a horse
2. Helping your uncle jack off a horse
Small differences can have a massive impact on meaning!
jack has a lower case j, I think that it works.
