Hi folks,
As a self-confessed English pedant (now there's a hostage to fortune), I am
still puzzling over why the following line is being held to be incorrect in
any way:
"I didn't know I drank such a lot"
If anyone was being mega-picky, you could insert the word "that" between
"know" and "I", but is there something more obvious I've missed?
As for "ain't", it could be argued that it's not so much grammatically wrong
as sloppy - or just colloquial - English
One of my favourite grammatical howlers is in Paul McCartney's Live & Let
Die, which contains the immortal line
"But in this ever-changing world in which we live in"
Azeem in London, thinking of holding a memorial service for the correct use
of the apostrophe...
