what is wrong with this sentence?
on: June 18, 2005, 07:34:29 PM
I am curious how many people can actually see what is wrong with this sentence. If you can figure it out then PM and tell me. Don't put the answer here. This is somewhat for school. here is the sentence.

 ;D your welcome








But in self's defense, people here have a habit of making hour long blabs of posts

so self has gotten used to just skimming for facts

reading everything would take years (or a few minutes)

the sentence caught selfs eyes and the name of the topic caused self to post

wait a minute self said self again :-\

*hides in closet*

hopefully self wont be found here 8)

In any case, what's so special about the whole thing? I spotted the mistake instantly and English is not even my native language...

surprisingly many people won't notice the problem. Society has said that to use the word "he" is sexist and wrong. Using the term he/she is also wrong. Therefore, society uses the word "their".

plus grammar isn't being taught in schools like it use to be.

Oh, I see. The politically correctness thing. You would think that society doesn't have any other REAL problems to deal with... ;)

Whose welcome? And what about it? And everyone isn't entitled to their/his/her own practice room, unless it's at home.

it's no longer wrong it's just not proper
