don't think I'm going completely off topic here but it is a bit of a hijack. Bit of a chatroom question... is the use of LOL, ROFL etc etc in their capitalised form considered acceptable? I've been admonished (I think) in a chatroom (not here) today for using those abbreviations in their capitalised form. Just wondered if I'm wrong here or if I'm just being a pedantic bitch... answers on a postcard please
I remember awhile back having an argument with an english teacher about what is and isn't gramatically correct...
I had a T shirt on, written on the back in graffiti style lettering were the words "GUNS N ROSES WAS HERE".
After reading it she started going on about it being wrong, and that it should have said were here, I argued against here based on the fact the guns n roses, albiet consisting of 5 people is in actual fact a single entity and therefore the use of the plural 'were' would be wrong.
Was I right ?
