Grammar check in Solitude

Post » Fri Jun 08, 2012 3:15 pm

Quick, we caught another one - haul him into the boat! :biggrin:

"Drives my wife and me crazy" is correct (apart from the missing subject). "me" is an object pronoun, and since it (along with "my wife") is an object of the sentence, it works.

How can you test this? Take away the other object. You're left with "Drives... me crazy." You wouldn't say "Drives... I crazy."

Edit: gar! Beaten to the punch.

:ninja: ninja'd you! LOL.

I'm humbled.

It seems I have some way to go when it comes to grammar naziism.

Well I really don`t care about my grammar or spelling on a faceless forum as long as I can see it`s understandable. But I do believe any production such as a game or company product should have their spelling right or it just makes your business look really stupid...

Which would you choose?

Skrim. Skyrim.



Hmm... I think I subconscously tried to spell perfectly. Sorrry- I spely `sorry` and `spelt` wrong to make up.

Exactly. Its about professionalism. And paying someone to proofread your dialogue.
