Take Two


Okay, folks. I posted this wreck on Thursday and got yelled at. A lot. So I removed it.

But I like it. So it's back. Enjoy. (Or not).

  3. I agree, yelled at? Why not just ban them by IP if it bothers them so much.

  4. Apparently "an heritage" is in the bible. Some of you may find this shocking, but I don't have the bible memorized. If I turned in a paper that said "an heritage" it would come back with a huge red mark through it, so in my book*, it's incorrect.

    *Not the bible.

  5. Also, to be fair, some people just commented with their opinions without the yelling, and that I don't mind at all.

  6. Good for you for putting it back!

    I agree, bad grammar. Why should people yell? I doubt that they bible has a good editor, and just because it's written like that in the bible doesn't make it good grammar.

  7. Aren't children supposed to be the 'an heritage from the Lord'? Did they bury their kids?

  8. You know, I'll just throw this out there, it is in the Bible but in the King James version. And the King James translators were, well, English. And in English, "h" in the initial position of the word is usually silent so the article preceding a word that begins with a silent "h" is "an". It would sound something like this: "An 'eritage of the Lord." Those crazy Brits.... In passing, I so love this site! That's probably bad grammar but I didn't put it on a tombstone so I'm feeling ok about it.

  9. There are a lot of things in the bible that are not correct and acceptable today, murdering innocent children, incest, let alone, bad grammar. I also agree, who edits "the good book"?

  10. I guess there was no spellcheck way back when some priest was transcribing this into English???

  11. And in English, "h" in the initial position of the word is usually silent so the article preceding a word that begins with a silent "h" is "an".

    This. Thus why something is "an historical event" rather than "a historical event".

  12. Why don't they know the day the person died? Is it “an” mystery?

  13. Maybe it was "an honest" mistake which took them "an hour" to figure out. But it was too late...
