Get it right: have/of
January 10th, 2011
I get so pissed off at people that say or write “would of” or “could of” or “should of”. For god’s sake people, it’s not difficult!
The correct phrases are “would have”, “could have” and “should have”. Got it?
Just look at the contractions of those words (would’ve, could’ve, should’ve) if you get confused. The “ve” in each one comes from the word “have” after the apostrophe has replaced the “ha”.
No excuses any more.

I am glad to stumble upon this blog. Actually I challenged myself trying to create one exactly like this too, though I am not savvy enough on how to do it. How exactly is this so-called web2.0 software? Is it hard? Is it required to be well versed in computers to create a blog? I am hoping to hammer together a blog for my learn english writing related website. Can the platform be combined into a current website?
January 27th, 2011 at 9:19 am
Yes, it’s easy enough to do. If you aren’t confident enough to install blog software (such as WordPress) on your own server, you can use an external blog site (such as blogspot.com) and link to it from your site.

Woah! I’m really digging the template/theme of this site. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s challenging to get that “perfect balance” between superb usability and visual appearance. I must say you have done a great job with this. In addition, the blog loads super quick for me on Chrome. Excellent Blog!

February 29th, 2012 at 11:50 am
