rob the store next to typhoon thai and save on gas [15:13] Damn good thinking. [15:13] I like where your head's at. [15:13] head is at* [15:13] there, i fixed that for you [15:17] you can use contractions.. just use them correctly :) [15:17] 's means ownership.. it is not a shortened form of noun + is [15:18] it's [15:18] he's [15:18] there are always exceptions [15:18] head's [15:20] can you give an example of 's being a form of contracting the verb "to be" that does not use a pronoun? [15:20] though i don't think 'he's' is correct either [15:23] Aww isn't that cute, Americans discussing English grammar. [15:23] heh [15:23] sorry [15:23] Aww ain't that cute, Americans discussing English grammar. [15:24] it's and there's are valid contractions with 's [15:24] actually, i'm not sure if there's is a valid contraction [15:24] heh [15:24] Use MS Word! [15:25] (Wait, MS Word uses American English, so it probably wouldn't pick up on bad grammar...) [15:25] The second category is generally in the form of a pronoun (or occasionally a noun) plus an auxiliary verb or a form of to be, with the apostrophe replacing as few as one letter [15:25] The apostrophe should only be replacing vowels, if I recall. [15:26] MS word doesn't have any problem with this sentence.. "Youre heads in the right places." [15:27] You are head is in the right places. [15:27] yeah [15:27] And that sounds like perfect American grammar. Point proven.
