Yes its that time of the year. For the next week you are all to scrutinize every single post I make and correct even the smallest minimal spelling and grammatical error I make.
Please don´t correct me in the thread you find my post but transfer it to this one.

- Never start a sentence with a preposition.
- Choose one of the "I make" phrases; together they are redundant.
- "smallest minimal" is redundant.
- "spelling or grammatical" not "spelling and grammatical"
But perhaps correcting my english, represant too much work ...

You are right , i tend to forget that excepting boats (an old english tradition), inanimates objects are designed by it rather than he or she.
write :
Buy a mac, it's a nice computer
rather than :
buy a mac, she is a nice computer (but this lattest version is more sexy ... )

In danish we have neuter and common gender. Imagine how hard it was for me to try to pick french...

Ooh I've found one, quite fresh too. The correct word is "you're", meaning you are. Do I win a prize?
