Two recent grammars, the descriptive Cambridge Grammar of the English Language (2002) and the pedagogic Cambridge Grammar of English (2006) note that mustn't is used to express negative deductions. Their examples include: You mustn't have filled it in. He mustn't have done it deliberately. He mustn't have told her after all. The latter grammar notes that such a use of mustn't is especially found in informal spoken contexts.
Not what I was referring to. ;)
I thought seen was a past perfect conjugation of see?,or is it something else?
You might of..or might have?
Might have of course.(these posts smartarsed enough Adam :D)
Pathetic effort, tbh. And seriously, of?
Well, to be fair, I was trying a smart arsed comment on the thread. I just wanted to point out a glaring grammatical error.
Glaring indeed. My 2 year old was laughing his ass off.
Sure he wasn't laughing his ass of?
Jokes about my 2 year old's ass of... will be severely frowned upon.
Because I clearly wasn't just trying to make a joke out of the grammar, as opposed to your child. Lighten up a little man. I just paid for membership today for the first time.
Nigel gets a free pass on all grammar jokes due to his membership.Quote:

Osarusan wins the medal for most generous and faithful supporter of Foot.ie. He could probably deface Foot.ie with a giant turd, and I'd blame someone else. Nigel, probably. He looks the type.
Ban his children too.Quote:

I just signed up too. Does this mean I can ban people at will? More seriously, what are the actual benefits of my handing over virtual money? :)
You can't ban people, but you can call me names. Also this. And thank you.
You're welcome. Stupid-head. :)
Sorry all, was away at the weekend. Had no idea my sister would have no broadband so didn't expect to actually be offline.
I don't like this ganging up on me thing, even if it's just one person, but seeing he is the Führer, I'll just have to wither and bow.
If your sister is still in Inishowen, that'd make sense. I know people still with dial up in Inishowen. It's like a third world country in places..Quote:
