Oh it's not that bad. Most articles written by native speakers have more errors than this one. I do like these though: "A Bill Clinton." Oh snap, there's more than one? I knew it. "Struck cord."

The article refers to the event, not the person. Sigh...Grammatically incorrect either way. No "A" when referring to a person or, if referring to an event, it must be "A Bill Clinton-attended Swell event." Sorry it wasn't ?♂️ funny.

Yeah, I agree; a hyphen would have made it grammatically correct, but meaning was clear to me either way. Anyway, it’s a positive article and that’s what people ought to discuss in the thread, not grammar. xrphilosophy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeznutz Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Really? As much silly, crude, ridiculous **** as you post? Just trying to start off Friday with a little humor. Carry on.

XRPHornets Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Nee Naa Nee Naa the grammar police are here. " 'Ello, 'ello 'ello, what 'ave we 'ere then? Do you 'ave a licence for that incorrectly conjugated verb, Sir? " And BTW I can safely say the average Indian has a very good command of the English language, especially considering their native tongue is very different to any European language. xrphilosophy, LilBender and giddygoat 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my point. It was a joke. My word you really lack a sense of humour. On a separate aside, one of the main reasons why the English language has become so successfull is its plasticity. And so the English language 'ecosystem' evolves independently in every area of usage. Clearly its ok for Americans to modify certain words just as it is also ok for Jamaicans or Nigerians to invent their own patois version of English which has become an extremely poetic and expressive use of English shown very much so in music from these regions. Do we ridicule these groups for grammar errors or celebrate their creativity? In fact African Americans have evolved the English language in an incredibly creative manner such that much of their vernacular has fed back into the general vernacular of mainstream US and from there back out into the world. It does not pay to be obssessive or elitist about language usage. Edited October 5, 2018 by XRPHornets LilBender and xrphilosophy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 (edited) I'm not at all surprised seeing how much time and energy Ripple has spent educating, listening, and aligning itself with governments. That has been the plan all long. Edited October 5, 2018 by Guest Add Oxford comma before all hell breaks loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
