I'm loving this thread It is more correct to say " A happy owner of a N900, because 'N' is not a vowel. However in 'ordinary' spoken English it does sound more natural to say 'an' in this circumstance. Neither way is wrong, it all depends if your writing or speaking.

I'm learning something new every day Thanks a lot guys!

@silvermountain I would like to correct this sentence or just remove it if I can't by you already highlighted it.. so let's see what happen

Is it more correct?

That was my concern as well but I've write it down from somebody's else signature trusted that he knew.

As far as I know, "its" is the only world in the English language where you don't use an apostrophe for the possessive. I always spell it with an apostrophe to protest.

It is () true, but I always spelt it "it's" out of ignorance, not protest. It's (that one does need an apostrophe - a missing letter) a protest now.

Na just having a laugh. I don't mind poor spelling or even the odd bit of text speech.

No way, silvermountain. This sentence was the one that caught my eye earlier.

Devu, what is your native language?

I let you guess.

Here is a clue
Reverse logic, 3 times less words in dictionary, 3 times less time permutations and 3 times more accurate because nobody keep asking every 3rd sentence "do you know what I mean?"

Edit: this is important. There is no difference between question and answer in terms of sentence construction. The only way you can recognize it is "?" mark, but when you speaking, different voice intonation, that's it.

But in this same time English is more flexible more emotional more adjectives that can describe different level of emotions. And personally I think computer programing wouldn't be possible in any other language since English has dialect characteristic as well.

No sarcasm here just my observations, and process of my learning since I came to UK 2 years ago and I was pretty much like yes, no, thank you.
