NovemberFourth Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 LOL, mundane spelling? Well you know what they say, we really are two countries divided by a common language. N4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second is when your writing scripts are themselves hard. Just learn Dutch. Easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Why [b]is[/b] writing scrips so freakin' hard" or "Why [b]are[/b] writing scrips so freakin' hard" I'm kinda in debate about it right now... your help is much appriciated [/quote] It would depend on whether one is trying to say, "Why is it so difficult to write scrips?" or, "Why are the the scrips used for writing not softer?" If one is trying to say, "Why is it so difficult to write scrips" then, one would say ""Why [b]is[/b] writing scrips so hard?" If one is trying to say "Why are the scrips used for writing not softer?" then one would say "Why [b]are[/b] writing scrips so hard?" On a side note, I am not sure whether you meant to write the word [i]scrip[/i] or the word [i]scrip[b]t[/b][/i]. EDIT: I see Venite got to this before I could.

I waited as long as possible before taking any medication, and I did so only because the pain level from having uterine tetany caused my blood pressure to go up. I also sat for fifteen hours once getting my back tattooed. Labor wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
