Should there be a full stop after “fix” ?

 

[Jezza99]

I know I literally fell off my chair and dropped my pipe hence no full stop.

Shouldn't there be a pause between "I know" and you falling off a chair and dropping your pipe.

Last time I dropped my pipe water ran everywhere!

Should it be photographs and not photos?

I think photos has been a thing for a while. How about 'images'?

Clearly photo's is an abomination not to be tolerated.

......The apostrophe in “photo's” has nothing to do with pluralising. The apostrophe is there to replace the missing letters of “photographs”.

Bad grammer and spolling is so iritaitin. Their is often misyuse of the apostrophy. To be pacific, There they’re for good raison so peeple shoold lern the rooles.

Is “Amazingstoke” acceptable then?

 

[Borris]

This was the sort of question posed in double English.......... whilst I was gazing out of the window.

Never the less, whilst the former is probably now accepted as correct, I'll put my tick against the latter with the apostrophe replacing the missing letters in "photographs".

Nah.

 

[GrannyJen]

Nah.

I feel a song coming on ...

Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey, goodbye

Same here 9 but for some reason I answered qu. 4 thinking there was more than one possessive godfather (despite the obvious clue in the photo) !

Yeah, I thought the same. More than one possible correct answer.

I recommend a book called Eats Shoots & Leaves for punctuation confusion.
If you aren't confused before you read it you will be at the end. Interesting read.

What is this meant to mean?
The England Squad of ’66 hated the 1500s.

Have they seen the future, the Triumph 1500 motor
