Skweeky, it would help if we knew what type of english your trying to learn.

The way its used by the masses (ie us commoners), or with a Gob full of marbles...

lol, RF, what do YOU think?

Just correct english, as it is taught in schools.

....A few days ago I was in English Language class, we were having a debate about the use of dialect. When I finished, the teacher asked where I got those Scottish/Northern English expressions from and why my 'a' sounded so Scottish


Thanks, the both of you, now I speak english with a French/Scottish/Geordie accent

Where is this going to end??? The horror!!

[Rat Faced]

Well, as has been said "Whom" is rather archaic now, however it's still used by the gentry and upper middle classes .....


/me tips his cloth cap @ JPaul


PS (Or for the benefit of Lamsey... Post Script)

The English Teachers gave up in the North East years ago, and i suspect they did in Glasgow too

Skweeky,

I applaud and admire your desire to learn (and practice) proper English.

Actually, I admit to being envious of anyone who has mastered a second language.

It is popular today for the masses to determine what "proper usage" may be. Just because 'everyone' says it that way does not make it correct or beautiful.
I don't think it's at all pretentious or pedantic to use old fashioned grammar forms or a expanded vocabulary.

To my ear it just sounds better.

Keep up the good work.
