C'mon, people- READ your post before you hit SUBMIT to make sure it makes sense!
Makes sense to me. What doesn't make sense about it?
Oh wow, he tacked an extra 'n' on the word take. Big whoop. It still makes sense.
Well, like I said, I'm not trying to be a jerk, but you can't take anything "without" a grain of salt. The phrase is to "take it WITH a grain of salt." Second, yeah, he added an n to "take" but in front of the misunderstood cliche' the whole sentence makes no sense at all. And not to be nitpicky (I'm not the grammer or punctuation police, I swear) he's missing an apostrophe in "its" and the word possession is spelled wrong (he's missing an S).

Ok- bring on the flamers. I'm sure you'll all crucify me. But doesn't anyone look at that post and just roll their eyes? Seriously- am I the only one?
You're right, you're not the "grammer" police and if you're not trying to be a jerk than stfu and keep it to yourself. IT MAKES SENSE THE WAY IT IS cliche or not.

actually it's _A_ N... not AN n.. that and it was just a typo.
Seriously? Is that what you think! Dude- go back to your fourth grade teacher. It's AN "n". Not a "n." Holy sh*t, I can't EVEN believe we're having this argument, let alone that someone believes that saying "Uh" "n" is right.


You're right, you're not the "grammer" police and if you're not trying to be a jerk than stfu and keep it to yourself. IT MAKES SENSE THE WAY IT IS cliche or not.
All I did was make an observation and defend it. At no point in time did I get nasty, swear, or call anyone names. Responses like this one are the reason that civil conversation breaks down and becomes nothing more than a ____ing contest. So, since telling me to stfu is how you wanna communicate, fine. Two can play. I will make any observation I damn well please any time I want you knuckle-dragging, mouth-breathing, waste of space. The sentence does NOT make sense and if you think an intelligent response to a fair question is telling someone to stfu that just justifies my taking the time to call you a sluggish, stupid, ape of a human being. Now, was that more your language, or did I use too many big words?

1. Indefinite Articles: a and an

A and an signal that the noun modified is indefinite, referring to any member of a group. These indefinite articles are used with singular nouns when the noun is general; the corresponding indefinite quantity word some is used for plural general nouns. The rule is:

* a + singular noun beginning with a consonant: a boy
* an + singular noun beginning with a vowel: an elephant
* a + singular noun beginning with a consonant sound: a user (sounds like 'yoo-zer,' i.e. begins with a consonant 'y' sound, so 'a' is used)
* some + plural noun: some girls

If the noun is modified by an adjective, the choice between a and an depends on the initial sound of the adjective that immedately follows the article:

* a broken egg
* an unusual problem
* a European country (sounds like 'yer-o-pi-an,' i.e. begins with consonant 'y' sound)

Note also that in English, the indefinite articles are used to indicate membership in a profession, nation, or religion.

* I am a teacher.
* Brian is an Irishman.
* Seiko is a practicing Buddhist.




if you would like to continue this debate.... pm me so i can just delete the messages. this is way OT and pointless.

take it WITH a grain of salt
=
don't take anything without a grain of salt
It was not worded exactly as the phrase but just a different way of saying it. Most people understood what the person was trying to convey. No need to put the person down by using the "loser" smiley.

don't take anything without a grain of salt
literally means it must come with a grain of salt if you take anything so it basically means almost the same as saying
take it WITH a grain of salt
.

Just a double negative (don't & without) but WTF do I know, English is my second language.

good to see we have gone from Superchargers to indefinite articles and double negatives. Splendid.

Alright- truce. Forget I said anything at all. Sorry if I offended anyone by asking folks to review things before they post. I know it's something that's been discussed here before- I was only trying to reinforce it. I got salty because i was told to stfu and I thought it was uncalled for. As far as I'm concerned, it's over and done with and I won't post in this thread again.
