I saw this on a van near the Minnamurra River during a walk this morning:
We're do'n canoe'n
It was in large letters, the width of the text probably being a metre or more:
Apparently, the writer of the sign doesn't understand how the dropping of the "g" of a present participle, to mimic informal speech, is usually represented.
The standard you walk past is the standard you accept.
The only reason i make note of this is because i despise her politics. From Suella Braverman's public letter to Rishi:
You have manifestly and repeatedly failed to deliver on every single one of these key policies. Either your distinctive style of government means you are incapable of doing so. Or, as I must surely conclude now, you never had any intention of keeping your promises.”
This is not a complete sentence, she's made a dangling clause of herself which is followed by a sentence beginning with the conjunction 'or.' She needed a comma rather than a full stop between the clauses and consequently she's double dangled, silly Suella. Minor grammar mishap i suppose but in a short document that is going to be read by tens of millions of people you'd think she'd get the grammar right.
