The grammar police must not have seen your reply yet either.

The contraction of must not to mustn't is no big deal.

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?

**nigel-harps1954** · 06/12/2013, 3:38 PM

Pathetic effort, tbh. And seriously, of?

**nigel-harps1954** · 09/12/2013, 12:29 AM

Well, to be fair, I was trying a smart arsed comment on the thread. I just wanted to point out a glaring grammatical error.

**dahamsta** · 09/12/2013, 12:02 PM

Glaring indeed. My 2 year old was laughing his ass off.

**nigel-harps1954** · 09/12/2013, 2:47 PM

Sure he wasn't laughing his ass of?

**dahamsta** · 10/12/2013, 12:05 AM

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.

I was joking too, but Nigel is banned now for accusing me of not having a sense of humour. It's just not cricket. See, I apply the rules fairly and evenly. Although I may not have actually banned him. Consider it thanks.

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.
