A mere is a stretch of water. Perhaps there should be some kind of award for bad grammar, overuse of commas, atrocious spelling and general illiteracy. 

And an instant death sentence for any oppser who feels the need to use an apostrophe on a plural.

I'm being bullied, because of my bad use of grammer, and rubbish spelling,  ,,

My point was that not everyone is perfect...but you simply have to be to avoid getting slated on here by certain members. The situation with Lincs Robert the other night pissed me off but, of course, when someone ‘flounces’ it’s funny...isn’t it? A perfectly reasonable question, in my opinion, greeted with ridicule.
So, let’s all just look for imperfections or weaknesses and take the piss. You know, like they do on arsebook and twotter.

[Nick W]

What about the possessive plural, Nick?

Ron.

that's a specific instance that requires the use of an apostrophe, although how many people do it correctly?

Smelling pistake?

[Bigron]

Exactly. Incorrect useage is sometimes known as the "greengrocers' apostrophe", as I'm sure you know. A pedant would insist on "greengrocers's", but we have evolved into laziness in that regard!
Then there's "its" and "it's".....

I often get confused where to put my dangling modifier.

You are correct, Rods2; all road traffic laws prevail, even in supermarket car parks and anywhere that an admission fee is not charged.
Insurance cover was therefore required in those circumstances, together with valid tax and insurance.
Even if those requirements did not apply here, how was she planning to drive home?

Ron.

................and it is the same with drink driving.  If you get out of your car, or get into it on your driveway, or a private car park, you are intending to drive that car and so commit the said offence under the Road Traffic Act 1988, with later amendments, as soon as you sit in the drivers seat or intend to.

Section 5 states:  Driving or being in charge of a motor vehicle with alcohol concentration above prescribed limit.
(1)If a person—
(a)drives or attempts to drive a motor vehicle on a road or other public place, or
(b)is in charge of a motor vehicle on a road or other public place,

and Section 143: Users of motor vehicles to be insured or secured against third-party risks.
(1)Subject to the provisions of this Part of this Act—
(a)a person must not use a motor vehicle on a road [F1or other public place] unless there is in force in relation to the use of the vehicle by that person such a policy of insurance or such a security in respect of third party risks as complies with the requirements of this Part of this Act, and
(b)a person must not cause or permit any other person to use a motor vehicle on a road [F2or other public place] unless there is in force in relation to the use of the vehicle by that other person such a policy of insurance or such a security in respect of third party risks as complies with the requirements of this Part of this Act.

So this lady obviously drove to the filling station on public roads, and intended to drive away again on the same public roads.

[Doctor Gollum]

Prove it

[2boxerdogs]

It will be on CCTV we are watched almost everywhere now even pulling into a garage & exiting a car.

[Lizzie Zoom]

Prove it

Prove what?  That she drove the car onto the petrol forecourt?

Try the CCTV that most filings stations have, and she told the police she was the driver who locked her keys in the car

Why did you need, to cut and paste that, O I know to prove a point. Really.

Why did you need to post this?

O I know to wind someone up and try and push them off the forum, like some other members recently along with the Doctor.
