In Canada proper grammar requires adding "Eh" to the end of all questions, and replacing "ou" with "oo" (e.g.: "how aboot that hockey game last night"). It's still English, and it's not wrong either.

A recent note from a US government department granted me "Permission to Initiate Training", The Onion tells me that "New Anti-Smoking Ads Warn Teens 'It's Gay To Smoke'", and I quite often come across Sentences Or Entire Paragraphs Written Like This, usually (I think) with the intention of adding emphasis or an air of officialdom. None of these, according to our rules, should be capitalised. Or capitalized. Does that make them wrong? No - it's just one of the differences between the grammar of American English and that of mine. --Dave _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- AstriCon 2009 - October 13 - 15 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- AstriCon 2009 - October 13 - 15 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
