Would you put "I expressed my concern" in the third person?

Singular or plural?

I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Apparently the schooling system has a lot to do with it.

 

 

Their

 

They're

 

There

 

Two

 

Too

 

To

 

are all different words, having very different meanings and even, surprising though it might be to some, differing sounds and they cannot be casually interchanged in a sentence without causing that sentence to become unintelligible gibberish (and an offence to the eye when written).

 

Some forms of ignorance stem not from a lack of proper intstruction, but from a certain unwillingness to learn and to apply that learning.

 

To misuse the above exampled words is to demonstrate either laziness or ignorance or a cavalier disregard for the sensibilities of others. In any case, that practice is in no way "cool" or "chic".

If done intentionally or from outright lazy neglect, then it is a badge of the uncultured bogan.

 

Here endeth the Lesson. 😉

 


Wow, are we on our high horse tonight ?

"To misuse the above exampled words is to demonstrate either laziness or ignorance

or a cavalier disregard for the sensibilities of others."

 

I have never seen it written that misuse of words is done so it affects the "sensibilities of others".

Still no takers.

 

She-ele, in your opinion is "I expressed" said in the third person?

"I expressed"  is first person singular, past tense.

"You expressed," would be 2nd person, singular or plural, past tense.

"He, she, it expressed " 3rd person singular etc.

"We expressed" - 1st person plural etc

"They expresed" 3rd person plural. etc

 

 

Its all two hard..............................................Richo.
