I found these on the social networking site - Facebook. The first picture has an error in the usage of apostrophe. The words "servers" and "thanks" don't need an apostrophe. The second picture has an error in capitalization. The two independent clauses were connected with a use of semi-colon and these were still considered as one sentence; hence, the first word of the second independent clause should not be capitalized.
Nice observation Jheyzone. There are more English errors committed than the number of user in Facebook. The tendency for user is that hey just go on typing whatever they want to and they are neglecting the rules of English. Yes, it does not matter at all in Facebook, but isn't it a good thing that we could express ourselves freely and at the same time we are properly using English?
ReplyDeleteIt is not that difficult. It just takes a lot of practice. :D
Knowing that some English grammar are wrong can prove that we have improved our knowledge about English.
ReplyDeleteOn the second picture, do you mean the word "He"? I think the one who created the picture has an explanation. When I was in elementary, we were taught to capitalize the first letter of the pronoun referring to God.

ReplyDeleteOh! Christina, thanks for the observation. It's really a great mistake on my part.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Christina.

ReplyDeleteYou could just say:
"The two independent clauses were connected with a semi-colon..."
Jason, is that your Facebook account that I see?
ReplyDeleteYou're a keen observer, Jason.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Christina.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Christina, we should capitalize the first letter of the pronoun referring to God.
ReplyDeleteI am aware that whenever we refer to God, we must always capitalize whatever pronoun that we are going to use.
