Your advice as to how I should think is noted. I will treat it with the same lack of interest as I regard your re-appearance on this forum.Julia
you're gonna have to think a bit less literally - a bit more laterally - with a bit of levity maybe.
Is or actually wrong there ?
I dont think so.
Then think again. It's either/or, neither/nor. You also missed an apostrophe in your second sentence. I'll let you work out where it should have been; that can be your homework
Now I really am off to bed, I have to be up at 0430.

Australians all eat ostriches
Four minus one is three.
With olden royals, we're well and loyal,
Our home is dirt by sea.
I learned to bounce on nature strips
In booties stitched with care.
In mystery's haze, let's harvest maize
And plant azaleas there.
Enjoy full trains and let us in
And dance Australia yeah!
Australians all let us rejoice,
For we are young and free
We've golden soil and wealth for toil,
Our home is girt by sea
Our land abounds in Nature's gifts
Of beauty rich and rare
In history's page, let every stage
Advance Australia fair!
In joyful strains then let us sing,
'Advance Australia fair!'
There could be no more less capable person to hijack a thread for self indulgence.Hence ...
In reply I'd probably add , "no more less" = more or less, "no".There could be no more less capable person to hijack a thread for self indulgence.
I've been told, sometimes with foulest of language (which is always spelt correctly, surprisingly)
MrBurns I have omitted one hyphen and four commas. Plus trangressed on capitalisation rules because I respect the integrity of nics.
Please submit your homework to someone who cares.
PS I leave "wgo" as an intentional typo - something for the pedants to latch onto. - bit like a draftsman who intentionally leaves off the north arrow on his drawing, so that the boss can feel important when he corrects it.
PS Those who'd prefer to make nonsensical and unneccesary arguments - about grammar for cryssake , sheesh - instead of posting a humourous "mispronounced lyric" = mondagreen . cheers. Takes all types I guess
PPS. I still like that one ...

worth a look at the youtube if you haven't already.
You are,Wysiwyg.Just brushing up on the possessive noun events and where to place the apostrophe.
First we must decide whether the noun is singular or plural.
For example the one I missed.
a) The damage done to a person`s brain.
The noun "person" is singular in this instance. (one person -> two people)
Let`s (let us) look at a plural example.
b) My friends` brains were dysfunctional due to taking drugs.
The noun "friend" is pluralised in this instance because there are more than one friend. (one friend -> two friends)
Simply changing sentence structure does avoid possessive noun situations.
After all that I hope I`m right.
What does the above relate to, Wayne?I would have thought ' was more correct than `.
Presumably you're referring to the unnecessary space around the apostrophe?Compare it's to it`s.
You are,Wysiwyg.
The noun "friend" is pluralised in this instance because there are more than one friend.
Um, why were you asking if you were right if you already knew the answer??
You're right, of course. I didn't even notice that. Just looked at the examples (a) and (b) which is what I thought you were questioning.
