Apostrophe's and other such nonsense.I have a compulsion to try to abbreviate as well as I can and to try to use the correct words.
I actually care weather eye use whether or weather; I or eye; there, their, they're or there're and countless other old-fashioned things.
I don't profess to use the English language completely correctly, but I try my best. I also find it harder to parse sentances not constructed using the correct words.
Huw wud ave fought it?

You can't say that...You have put a comma (which is a well known separator) in front of "but" (which is a conjunction). Mr. Das said we shouldn't do that.

You may be right.I used the commas to denote an aside -- which I understand is incorrect. I, however, was taught to use them in that way and have read examples of similar use in literature -- so I continue to do so.
Of course my English is flawed but at least I try. That is my point.
