Ye Olde Pub (The English Pub)

[Slimda]

I thought your bold markings was to show which words was errorenous, and not what you actually corrected. Anyway, bold markings from me show what's wrong.

[henbruas]

Well, they did indeed show which words he spelled incorrectly, but I included my corrections.

 

"Errorenous". I like that word. It sounds kind of funny.

Well, it is a good word to state that something is wrong.

Why "(The English Pub)"? Ye Olde Pub won.

I agree. Not really fair. This must have been added very recently, because when I visited this topic yesterday or whenever it was, it didn't say "The English Pub". Somebody better fix this very soon, or we'll start a riot.

Let me quote south park:

Ahem! REBELL REBELL REBELL REBELL REBELL REBELL REBELL REBELL REBELL REBELL REBELL REBELL!

[henbruas]

People, calm down. We don't have to go all French.

[Mikkel™]

Mr. Mick Fox, this is not a french thread, but an english one. Please refrain from being a french turd.

Tha bloody hell!?? Com'on give me a break, now. The poll for name-change was up for a month with numerous reminders. The lazy "English Pub" party lost the election - simply because they didn't stood up for their chase like the winners, "Ye Olde Pub" party did.

 

However... If we, in some far future, are going to have another round for election, we will do it like this: The Party who sends me the most money in cash, wins the right to name the thread. Bidding starts at one million NOK. Bribes are allowed.

Ye Old Pub... it sounds irish!

[Bear^]

Ok this is starting to bother the living nuts of out me.

 

I have all this kinds of ideas for stories and trying to get these on paper. I start up word to write the outline of the story, nothing special, just something simple. And like light snow in a storm my thoughts go balongas and I just sit there staring on the white blank page.

 

I think I should find some hard brick wall and smash my head against it. At least something will come out of it, even if it's just a bad headache.

[CypheroN]

You are a cheater, Lidskjalv. Cheater.. And I will have my vengeance upon thy.

[henbruas]

Just put it aside for a couple of days. Relax and don't think about it at all. When you've got it completely out of your mind, have another go at it.

[Bear^]

The last piece of writing I put aside for a few days was a 17 page story I thought was good, until I read it again. Ended up scrapping the whole thing.

 

But I guess you're right. I just, hm, I don't know how to start up. It's clear that any author should know where his stories are going, my problem is however that I know where it's going, I just don't know how to put words to it.

 

Mental images is hard to explain in words, I wonder how Stephen King manages it. I guess the answer to that is in a flight ticket to Main.

Need an advice, when do you use;

 

"you're vs you are"

"I'll"

 

Seen from an American English point of view?

[cupocoffee]

I'll check if you're/you are in touch with your inner self.

[henbruas]

t's clear that any author should know where his stories are going, my problem is however that I know where it's going, I just don't know how to put words to it.

 

I never have the slightest idea how my stories are going to end. I just write what comes to my mind. Interestingly, it usually works quite well.

"you're vs you are"

You can decide for yourself if you want to use an apostrophe and join the subject and the verbal together. If you are intending to write formal, don't do it.

[ole_marius]

Well i got criticized when i used you're" and not "you are", so that means that i can freely use what i prefer?

[cupocoffee]

You are free to write it in whatever manner you would like, but "you're" is generally frowned upon in formal writing.
