super vote: ( left this week)
"I must of" ?
'Must of' is heard quite a lot in Yorkshire. I believe some people think of 'must've' as 'must of', simply missing the point of the omission.
There was nothing wrong with it as it was, we say 'must of' all the time in Ireland too, sounds better than it looks though.
Quick, change the 'been' to 'being' too and you may get a few more votes from these buggers:))))
being a bit picky about the english arent we???
could have got away with it if speech marks were used... I, hailing from the North got it anyhow:)
For what it's worth, I hate reading "must of" - looks clumsy and it's wrong, whatever your dialect of English. Rant over!
I wouldn't have used it in a caption as it's not grammatically correct, but dialect is better said than written.
Well it reminds me of home, and I like it :)
Just thought it was about clever and funny captions (which i did like this one) and not about correcting peoples grammer or dialect.
I gave it a vote as I liked it, and didn't take a lot of notice of the grammar, but there is a part in the 'discuss' section on caption writing tips, it says there about trying to use the correct spelling and grammar.
The pedants are revolting.
I'm all commented out :)
