    Forever Man: Everlasting Joey Giardello

    It’s a funny thing about Joey Giardello. When you sit down with a bunch of friends and play them the films of Joey’s best fights, there inevitably comes that moment when somebody in the room lets out a little gasp and says, “My goodness, I didn’t realise how good this guy was.” [details]

    I'm not normally a grammar ****, but the butchering of the simplest words in the language here, especially by the alleged "writers" is driving me nuts, so i thought it might be a good idea to give them a refresher course by using the words in context.

    Many of the posters here might want to take note, as well.

    its - possesive - My dog loves it when you scratch its ears
    it's = contraction (it is) - It's a beautiful day today

    there - noun - There are 12 eggs in a dozen
    their - possesive - It's their money to spend (note the double lesson in this one)
    they're - contraction (they are) - They're going to spend their money over there (a triple shot of grammar love!)

    your - possesive - Feel free to spend your money on a dozen eggs
    you're - contraction (you are) - You're not going to eat all those eggs are once, are you?

    Honestly, if you're going to claim to be a professional writer you should have a grasp of the most basic concepts of the language you write in.

    The article is an interesting read.

      I'm not aware that I committed any of these grammatical crimes. Did you have a late night and get the wrong story?

      There, there, now....
