Most common SPELLING MISTAKES in FChat.

Worst ever is when people try to sound smart and proper by referring to themselves as "I" even when it should be "me".

example:
incorrect: John sent the new fchat shirts to Bob and I.
correct: John sent the new fchat shirts to Bob and me.

Hint: 'I' is a subject, it does stuff. 'Me' is a direct object and therefore has stuff done to it. Remove the other people in the list and if it doesn't make sense to anyone but rastafarians, refer to your 1st grade grammar book.

that is truly upsetting to me

 

Right. Having that pesky "Bob" in there somehow throws people off.

Having lived in Texas for a number of years (no longer), I have heard the English language butchered in just about every way imaginable. Here's one: "I's" for "my"! One of my favorites, a couple of signs on an old run-down bar in the Beaumont - Port Arthur area: "Exit" and "Intrance".

Another good one, this being the "soup of the day" written on the little blackboard outside a hotel restaurant somewhere in the Northeast: "Barely beef".

 

Yes, that is correct. It's my car. It is my car. "It's" is a short form of "it is" - nothing more. In your example, the possessive comes from "my". The car belongs to me, not to it.

Consider, though: the car's hood is red. Its hood is red. Here, "its" is in the possessive - the hood belongs to it. So "its" is used correctly here, instead of "it's".

Hope that helps,
