Keep your suggestions to your self your Greek illiterate clown.

I won't take any notice of the "your" or the missing comma. :lol:

What missing comma you goofball? It can be written either joined or separated... “your self” and “yourself” are both correct!

What you’re talking about is “You’re” which is an abbreviation of “You are”! :roll:


But you stated this:

Keep your suggestions to your self your Greek illiterate clown.

your self should be yourself

your - should be you or you're (you are)

Also, there should be a comma after your self which should be yourself.

Back to Primary School for you. 8)

How many things can you get wrong in such a small sentence? :roll:

:lol:


Please don't shoot me,the messenger,you two...

That sentence,to my reading, should really be :

Keep your suggestions to yourself,you illiterate Greek clown
Grammatically speaking that is... :wink:

That is exactly what I said. But there is an alternative.

The passage can also be written as follows:

Keep your suggestions to yourself. You're an illiterate clown.

Again... either one is correct!

your - should be you or you're (you are)

:roll: Go back to the second "your" and remove the "r", and when you’re done bugger off because I'm busy!

I hope you are busy doing your homework. 8)

You need all the help you can get, I'm afraid.

You can send me a cheque for the English Lesson. :lol:

That just cost you 100AUD + GST (VAT)! 8)

True,but this does not have the power or the original...And you have removed the Greek bit...That bit is what makes the original grammatically wrong (or should I say,incorrect)... :)

I don't think so.

I think both versions are correct.

All I did was forget the word Greek. It does not make it "incorrect".

It can still be written as follows:

Keep your suggestions to yourself. You're an illiterate Greek clown.

If you include the word Greek, it weakens the insult, as you are effectively bestowing an honourable title upon a person you wish to insult. 8)

I would say, it is almost a compliment. :lol:
