Assume v. Presume

[Black Hole]

Sign me up!

 

[prpr]

That's blx.

No it isn't.

Adding the rest of the truncated sentence or by omitting part of a sentence is the way to establish whether to use I or me,.

This really is utter bollocks. How is any reader supposed to reinsert omitted parts of a sentence?
As I said, you would not write "he too" or "she too". I would be "him too" and "her too". You really do need to go away and learn the differences between subjects and objects and when to use them.

"Me too". is not a fully formed sentence.

Well you wrote it. And included a full stop. What the F else is it?

 

[Trev]

Well you wrote it.

peterworks wrote it and I was suggesting that it was not correct.
OK. Enough already. I give in. I'll get over it.

 

[Black Hole]

Here we go again:



They got it right everywhere else, so what in the world possessed them to stick a bloody grocer's apostrophe in "Fete's"?!!!

Free advertising, maybe.

 

[Trev]

Brought your attention to it though BH

 

[Black Hole]

Hmm... do I take my business to someone who employs van sign-writers with no sense of grammar?

 

[EEPhil]

I'm just relieved that they don't keep broth in the van during the hours of darkness.

 

[Black Hole]

Or gravy.

 

[EEPhil]

Wasn't sure whether stock equals gravy or not! Even went to the trouble of looking up stock in an online dictionary and didn't find the mention of gravy. As this is AvP I thought I wouldn't risk the wrath of BH by getting it wrong. Ha! I was going to use gravy - honest.

 

[Black Hole]

I think we would have to consult a chef to decide whether "stock" is properly synonymous with "broth" or "gravy", but my understanding is that although stock is a principal ingredient for both, it would require further processing to become either.

 

[Trev]

Isn't stock the stuff in the bottom of the roasting tin when you have roasted a joint?

 

[MikeSh]

Isn't stock the stuff in the bottom of the roasting tin when you have roasted a joint?

Yes, but you'll only find it in that van during the day.

 

[gomezz]

How big is the van? Wondering how many sheep would fit in?

 

[Black Hole]

Dead ones, presumably.

 

[Trev]

Bah!

 

[RobH1]

Baa!

 

[EEPhil]

roasted a joint?

What a strange way of consuming marijuana.

 

[Black Hole]

Isn't stock the stuff in the bottom of the roasting tin when you have roasted a joint?

For a hosier, tights are his stocking trade!

 

[EEPhil]

From the crashing and green screen thread:

but end of life is defined by the point at which it's too much trouble.

Liverpool Care Pathway?

 

[Black Hole]

It's certainly the point at which I want to define end-of-life!
