Its good to be back. I haven't had any of my exams yet, got my first on Monday, and 11 throughout the week! :shock: What fun.

Must thank Tony for his hard work and Martyn on BBlades for allowing us to share his hospitality.

Hey good luck with your exams.
Can I offer you a small tip.
I hope you dont think I'm being rude, but your English is sooooo good I cant help but think if you crack this one small thing, you'll be speaking like a native. :wink:
It's where you use the word "mine" when really you should use "my". It's difficult to explain the rule for personal pronouns, I guess most of us learn the difference by listening to our parents when we're kids and then later understand it better at school, but perhaps an example will help you understand the difference betweem "I, me, my, myself and mine".
This is my knife.
This knife is mine.
This knife belongs to me.
When I have finished my last exams...
These exam results are mine.
It's only when I think about it, it's actually quite hard to explain when to use one over the other, but it does look really odd when it's written incorrectly. Nothing to worry about though, even though it looks a little weird written that way, I understand your meaning perfectly.
"Mine" and "my" are pronouns that refer to posessions (knife, exam or whatever). If you use the pronoun before the posession you should use "my" (eg.. my knife, my exam etc), whereas if you use the pronoun after the posession you should use "mine" (eg.. knife is mine, results are mine etc). The word "mine" usually comes at the end of a phrase or sentance.
Again, hope you dont think I'm being rude. I thought you might appreciate the tip. :wink:

I was convinced you were english and that was a typing error :-D but as Martyn noticed, it does reccur. Exellent explanation tho' Martyn.You should be a Teacher :wink: :lol: :lol:

Yeah, I thought he was english too untill I saw he was from the Delft. I was amazed, and frankly a little ashamed I only speak the one language. :roll:
Dunno about being a teacher though - you should've seen me stumble through trying to explain to a mate why...
"I bought a pair of shorts" is correct and ...
"I bought a short" is wrong. :-D :-D
Trying to explain why a single item was referred to as a plural sent me in spirals. :lol:

YEP I felt pretty dim too! lots of our civilised nieghbours start kids an a bi-lingual education from nursery school.Its our national anglo saxon ethic that they should have to learn english if they wish to speak to us. DOH
Well it's good to be HOME!!!! :-?
Unfortunately my fingers are now typing britishblades.com instead of bushcraftuk.co.uk, they have become more than a little confused in the search for bushcrafters and the bushcrafty. :-D
However BB have some good ideas that we may be able to use here along the lines of the passaround part of their forum which I believe is a very fine idea. 8-)
Anyway good to see all of your typing again. :wink:
Thanks Tone for all your hard work :-D
I agree with leon -1 a passaround could be very helpul with making those pricey purchases.

is it really that good ? it's mine 3rd lauguages. Must have something to do with the countless forums on this subject ! I sometimes get the gramatics and spelling wrong, especially behind the PC. Mine brains are going faster than these hands. This working to improve it...

considering the spelling mistakes you come across from the natives ,id say your english is actually better than some ! lol
can you understand latin? as it seems to be quite prevalent and a foreign language is better than a dead one i believe :roll:
your english is v good m8 and communicates well in mine opinion.i understoods it muchly! thankyou please :wink:
Personnally I don't think it was pompous and I'm sure that P2K will tell us if he thinks it is. I know several people who are learning/learnt english and they're actually happy to have errors pointed out as it can give them a better understanding of the language. I think it depends on who you are and whether you're learning the language to be fluent or just to get by.
if no one points out your mistakes you will never improve
it is difficult when learning a language to know if you have it right only by people helping you can you perfect a language
Latin is actually very useful if you are involved in science or Medicine
I'm usless at languages where as my wife speaks six different languages and learns with ease
I'm always in awe of people who can learn languages

MAD MICHELLE :wink:
i don't mind people pointing out my spelling and grammatic errors at all, it's good ! You can never learn enough, can you ?

Also bare in mind that PC2K speaks at least 6 languages (don't argue!) and is half the age of most of you!
Hi gang !
Whew - that was a long one. Well done for getting it sorted Tony. :biggthump
pete, i HAVE to argue about that !
I'm dutchie with chinese parents, so i can speak cantonees and dutch. And since english is one of those universal lauguages i know that too.
The rest are just small sentences and words i have picked up somewhere...
I can't speak any other lauguage on a proper manner, just that i can't speak the lauguages ! I got the record of lowest grades for mine german of the intire school ! French wasn't much beter, i can't even remeber much of what i did learned !
btw bought new canvas gaiters today :-D another excuse to go out in the woods...
Personnally I don't think it was pompous and I'm sure that P2K will tell us if he thinks it is. I know several people who are learning/learnt english and they're actually happy to have errors pointed out as it can give them a better understanding of the language. I think it depends on who you are and whether you're learning the language to be fluent or just to get by.
Absolutely. No pomposity intended at all.
The ONLY reason I commented, was because in my experience, every single one of my friends who do not speak English as a first language, actively seek to have thier errors corrected by thier friends. They see thier English friends as a resource from which they can learn. Perhaps this "attitude" towards learning is why so many none-English speak so many languages and why so many English people are infact "too pompous" to either offer help or seek it themselves. My English is very far from perfect, especially my spelling, but my grammer is reasonable and I am able to offer constructive criticism, as are many people.
TNB, if you have an issue with me banning you from BritishBlades, I suggest you take it up with me privately, rather than allow such obvious and transparent alteriors to affect your public comments.
Nice one Tone :biggthump
And of course, Martyn :biggthump
Cheers,
Jake
