Kerb, Curb. Standards, people, standards.

[Don]

Curb - to hold back
Kerb - thing by side of the road that when you run into it it buggers your alloys and knocks your tracking out.

The Americans spell Kerb "curb". We don't.

Kurb is a radio station in Little Rock Arkansas.


Thank you for your attention.

Whilst we are at it ice means trouble braking when you use your brakes and if you don't stop you might break something...

Feel free to raise standards and vent your spelling and grammar frustrations here. And to take the piss, of course.

Shouldn't there be a comma between "Little Rock" and "Arkansas"?

[matt1269]

I'm quite sure that you shouldn't start a sentence with "And".

Quite correct, sir. I hang my head with shame.

It's unconventional but quite often done.

Were - "We were at home."

We're - "We're going to be at home."

Where - "Where is home?"

Wear - "I like to wear my girlfriend's clothes."


Thank you.

We need to curb the use of "curb" where it should be "kerb". But the debate about whether 20" gold rims should be "curbed" or "kerbed" continues Maybe if their wheel nuts are loose, they'll lose them.

Not if you mean 'The room is full of grammar NAZIs.' - plural

Yes if you mean the Grammar NAZI's frilly pink undies.' - possessive

"Can I lend a pen?"

No. But you would have been able to borrow one had you not just uttered that sentence.

[Don]

"Could of" does not exist as a piece of English.

You "could have" done something.

If you wish to accurately represent what you would say the spelling is "could've".

[Don]

"Tem items or less."



Ten items or FEWER!
