in my uni the president elections are on. there's one main candidate and his poster reads

"vote luke, i keep my promise's"

is this right? should it not be "promises"

theres hundreds of posters, all a wth the same use of promise's.

I seem to be the only one in the college who cares...so maybe im wrong.

clarification please

Yep, should just be 'promises' as it's a plural.

Where's Coops?

Shiro · 12-03-2008, 13:20

You sir (2D fruit) are correct.

But hey, Bush managed to get into office twice and the guy can't speak proper English. So maybe it doesn't matter.

Coops · 12-03-2008, 13:23

Ahem.

Anxious · 12-03-2008, 13:25

He should have went with 'I can has your vote?'. Much better.

brooks · 12-03-2008, 13:25

It pains me to see people like this, especially the pluralisation of photo, nearly everyone at uni here writes 'photo's' on posters and stuff, tres annoying.

e.g 'Coops photo's'

Coops · 12-03-2008, 13:26

This is grammar on a very, very basic level and the offender should be tortured.

JonoMarshall · 12-03-2008, 13:33

Couldn't you scrawl all over it?

Something like: "Vote Luke, I keep my promise's true meaning hidden in bad grammar."

Coops... does that work?

Coops · 12-03-2008, 13:34

Mmm, I like your style Mr Marshall...

2Dfruit · 12-03-2008, 15:23

it seems i'm the only one who cares. I was shocked to see it. pity nobody but us dt nerds care about it

hawken · 12-03-2008, 15:36
