The british PM David Cameron was in Russia for the G20 summit last week and was reported to have said that " . . . the decision we had 'took' on Syria . . .". That was obviously a slip but it reminded me of some grammatical "bombs" that Britons throw all over the place viz: - a PA wrote "while you "was" away . . - On match of the day " . . The ball could have "went" in . . " - " . . There "is" two students coming . . I gave some UK students an English class work to use we're, where and were as appropriate in a sentence. I asked them to complete this sentence - where __ you yesterday and one guy's response was: where 'was' you yesterday. Maybe we should be a little less critical of our countrymen who throw grammatical bombs all over the place. |
