This is based upon the stereotype of "the crooked Jew", and falls under the DO NOT post racist, sexist or homophobic remarks rule.

Please try to be a little more discerning in future.

I deeply apologise I did not realise this was considered offensive. please excuse me.

As much as I suspect nobody will get the reference, this is still brilliant

Thank you for that. I much appreciate your re-considering as I had been hit when seeing that picture and it left me worried that night.

I'm glad Prolescum did not let it pass unnoted.

Dear vivre,if anything posted on these forums ever makes you feel uncomfortable, or seems unnecessarily hostile or offensive make sure to contact a moderator as soon as possible. These forums are for rational discussion and occasionally lulz , but things of a bullying or discriminating nature are not permitted. I realise I posted something offensive, but believe me when I say it was an honest mistake. warm regards, forgotten observer.

Thank you for the hint. It was only a while after my previous reply that I remembered I could have used the 'report link' - but that was simply not in my repertoire (maybe on next occassion)

Please don't worry, I caught your sincereness ~ have a friendly day ahead ~ Vivre

I'm not sure how to say this without potentially offending you, but, welcome to the internet . You'll soon find that it isn't worth it to be left worried about what people write or post. Especially not to be left worried the whole night. Of course, that doesn't mean that racism should be tolerated. Perhaps I've watched one too many family guy episodes and become so desensitised to jew and racist jokes. Anyway, that's my tip, care less what other people say and do, and don't let it affect you too much.

May I take your word and straight adept to it ? :mrgreen:
nono - just kidding

I appreciate your response and I do try to ponder what I meet on the virtual net. Still I'm aware it's by humans ... and sometimes all reasoning doesn't help but the time to let it settle.

thanks ~ V

I took the photo above in Bloomfield, New Mexico. It was pointed out to me in the chat that the photo I took is already a very popular subject to photograph.

Were they trying to say "its awesomeness" or "it is awesome"?

One of the rules for using apostrophes, is to show possession, (E.G. "One boy's hat") since the caption is talking about the image possessing awesomeness it is in fact grammatically correct.

One of the wonderful things about English as a language, is that it is messed up.

Aught is right to point this out about the poster, for its use of "it's" is actually wrong.

While English grammar has many exceptions, this one is pretty clear:

"It's" is always a contraction.

"Its" is always the possessive pronoun.

A good way to remember this is to compare the neuter "it" with the masculine and feminine pronouns, "his" and "her". Those don't have an apostrophe, either.


And that concludes the grammar lesson for today.





(Sorry!!)

Shame on you for confusing people. This is one of the most common grammatical errors on the internet - although I suspect that for many it's just laziness.

Lol. Subway station at Campo Grande, Lisbon. I used to go there all the time. It is actually supposed to be like that, there are other tiles more weirdly scrambled.

Thanks, I just saw the image I had no background, that's sounds rather curious.

Anyway keeping this thread going:
