As to knife and fork, I agree totally, our 7 yr old has his friends round sometimes. They kneel on the chair as opposed to sitting, use their fingers etc. My Mrs and I wonder if any adult sits with them while they eat their meals!

Mole Posted 2 May, 2009 Author Share Posted 2 May, 2009 They are 7 ?? Surely let them get on with it ? As long as they are not flinging grub around I disagree. Children should be made to sit and eat their meals at the table using their knife and fork properly. That said they don't have much hope if their parents don't know how to use their knife and fork properly which is getting to be the norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's: Whoever and I, although modern parlance also allows Whoever and Me or Me and Whoever There are so many things that annoy me about the poor use of the written English Language. There's informal use, for example on an internet forum, and formal use faults. For me, there are limits on informal faults [some of which have been mentiond in earlier post]s. For example, there's no reason to write: bored of, when the writer means bored with could of, [also should of, would of], all of which are a contraction of could have [should have, would have]. There's a perfectly good contraction in could've. I also hate it when people spout and wear ignorance and cliché as if it is some sort of badge of achievement.

norwaysaint Posted 3 May, 2009 Share Posted 3 May, 2009 It's: Whoever and I, although modern parlance also allows Whoever and Me or Me and Whoever I'm not sure what you're talking about here. Firstly you should always put the other person first, but the point I was making was that the subject should always be I and the object, me. As in Whoever and I do something. It is to/from/with/for whoever and me. You shouldn't really use "me and whoever", although it's not the worst thing to do. My point was that you should never say "Dave and me went to the shops" just as you wouldn't say "Me went to the shops". It's "I went to the shops." Therefore it's "Dave and I went to the shops." However it's even more annoying when people say "This is from Dave and I". You wouldn't say "This is from I." You'd say "This is from me" So it's clearly "This is from Dave and me."

[] I'm in complete agreement there, Norway. I was just pointing out that I read in some journal on modern English that the phrase Me and Whoever or Whoever and Me is now not frowned upon.

Those who can't hold their knife and fork properly show themselves up when they go out for meals. It shows that the said person isn't properly educated.

St Landrew Posted 4 May, 2009 Share Posted 4 May, 2009 Drivers who don't pull to the side to let motorbikes pass/leave sufficient space for them to overtake. Think Bike! And on that theme, car drivers, who have never been bikers, who get all wound up when a bike passes them during a traffic jam or other obstruction. They don't realise that a bike rider has far more visibility than they have stuck in their little metal box. What's more, the bike rider, if he/she has any sense, will have used that extra visibility and weighed up the situation before performing the maneuver. So, car drivers, when you see us doing these overtaking maneuvers, we aren't necessarily being stupid or dangerous. I'm not gong to sit in your traffic jam if I can help it. And don't try to fill the road up with your car either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
