Capitalise the first letter in a sentence! And, don't tart every sentence with the same word!

ARBs is pluralised, so it means more than one ARB, arb's is apostrophised and means one or more letters have been missed out to shorten the word or words. For example; you're is short for 'you are' Bo'ness is short for 'Borrowstounness'.

ah !!!

as in gwh is a great big fat b'stard

[gwh200]

No idea what all that contraction stuff means I'm afraid. Mrs GWH wins this round.
i increasingly spend my time not knowing what the hell anything is about...what was this thread about ??

It is certainly traditional to capitalise initial letters in acronyms and apostrophes are never used in plurals.

Almost. You should have typed:

Ah!

As in gwh is a fat b'stard.

Notice the capitalisation, punctuation and spacing...

Not so long ago, i read a book called mother tounge (Bill Bryson).
It dealt with the minefield of english language,grammar,punctuation and so on...it was a stonking good read...but i was still none the wiser by the end of the book.

Names start with capital letters too. Other than that your statement is correct, apart from the 'is' bit.

Here you all go, an easy way to avoid the grammar/spelling Nazis. Get Firefox, and then right click on all the red underlined words (except slang and proper names, of course) till the fat lady sings.

don't tart every sentence

Art thy keyboard playing up again?

p.s. - anyone else find it odd how Firefox thinks the word 'Firefox' is misspelt?
