| > >Who introduced the mixed tenses? > you did with "Did you get them?". keep up laddy! Again, for the umpteenth time: >>> that's almost as annoying as "have you got them?" - "I do" - "do what.. do have? do got??" "Have got": past participle or whatever; "do have": present tense. That's yours, the original introduction of mixed tenses. > >Oh? I thought your previous posts were in English. Damn, I must be better at Latin [sic] than I thought. > that's also a misuse of sic, but never mind, it's expected at this point No, it's a perfectly valid use of "sic" in the sense of "this is exactly how that word is supposed to be written". (Given how it's a proper name, and all.) What, you were only familiar with the other sense, that of "this is exactly how you wrote it, you numbskull "? Better piss off back to middle school and get some Bildung then. You're boring me. See ya when you've grown up. |
"have got" is present tense, "had got" is the past tense
>it's a perfectly valid use
also expected
>"this is exactly how that word is supposed to be written"
you're meant to leave the supposed error in situ, not replace it with your supposed correction YAWN
>"this is exactly how you wrote it, you numbskull "
I don't understand this, but couldn't care less now
>Better piss off back to middle school
it's been like teaching a backwards child - you belong there more than I
>You're boring me. See ya when you've grown up.
your life is boring. I accept your concession
