yeah thanks for that, i was going quite well with out visiting "that" forum

Yeah, sometimes it's better to say nothing. Note how they grabbed (I assume) your signature line from that forum and used it against you.

Now I'll get you to edit yours on this forum so no one does it here:

That reads as "if a pig slackens it is voice, is it disgruntled?" which is nonsensical https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

I suspect you mean "if a pig loses its voice, is it disgruntled?

thanks for that Ron, i stand corrected.

Not quite, you need to remove the apostrophe out of "it's" - the apostrophe makes it a contraction of "it is". https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

Ron

the apostrophe also indicates ownership as in "Matthew's post was incorrect but has now been set right thanks to Ron's guidance."
but, to be fair, i guess i should've given the "it" a capital. but, then again "it" is not being used as a proper noun so it's need for a capital is not the case.

I havent been there in months, but i had my say. Noddy's comments were good. LX470 says he doesnt bait his Anti Land Rover posts and claims it is idiotic, yet the comment at the end of his post required inclusion. Matt

Yes, the apostrophe can indicate ownership. However, in the case of "it's", it is generally accepted that it is not used that way in "it's"

Ok, this discussion is more boring than the one on Overlander. https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

since i have not assigned a gender to the said pig, it is an "it". so, therefore i have no choice but to express the ownership of the pig's voice as "it's" voice.
as a final word on this matter, it might be generally accepted that "it's" may only be a contraction of "it is", but as my lifestyle has been somewhat non-conformist since my early school days, i would like to point out that something being "generally accepted" does not make it the rule and it wasn't accepted by me. to be perfectly honest, no-one even asked me!
let's see those O/L guys run an in depth thread like this.

How about it's a crock of #%IT https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

This post is exactly the reason why i stay here - i put up with enough shyte in the real world to not have to deal with mutton heads on line, its a pity because i believe there are some very good posts on other forums.

But i like it here

Oh Dear.........
What have i done????

i posted a reply after the moderator removed one of my posts.
The post that was removed was not offensive or angry, it was truth.
Truth about how they cant see how a Euro 4wd can be better.
it went on to say how the forum reflects the magazine and the moderators need to cull posts when they are getting bad. i considered the fight to be getting to a stage that the Anti 4wd lobby groups would have a feild day on.

Anyhow it was pulled and i was not happy, so i posted a very short one and hence i have been banned from Overlander for Life.
Yippy................. i never have to post there again.
Why i was even there i dont know. the magazine is pox.

Anyhow. if i have offended any of my fellow LR lovers i am truely sorry.

Back to normal posts....
