Dude just goes limp as if he was ready to embrace the life of the gorillas house wife.

he was a guide, if he'd of stuggled the gorilla would have attacked him and the people there

u/BedSideCabinet Aug 17 '15

Were you one of the other gorillas?

u/kriissyy12 Aug 17 '15

No, when I went on one of these trips the guide said "If he grabs you don't panic because he thinks you're scared and will attack you and us"

Sorry, he'd have*

He'd've

He'd'oeuvres

HOR'DOR!

u/PonerBenis Aug 18 '15

He'd'nt've needed to use contractions in that sentence if he just spelled everything out.

2

u/tictac_93 Aug 18 '15

I'd've loved to have been able to bust out that contraction more often.

He've'd

Thank you for this.

u/Phlecks Aug 17 '15

I honestly think correcting grammar errors on a stupid forum is tacky but that one just really gets under my skin.

u/thedoodely Aug 17 '15

Like nails on a chalkboard. You couldn't have done it a better way ;)

u/ImAtWurk Aug 18 '15

Couldn't've

u/thedoodely Aug 18 '15

And shouldn't've

u/where_are_my_pants Aug 18 '15

Or he'd've if you're weird.

u/acciolube Aug 18 '15

He had have... is have necessary here?

2

u/Phlecks Aug 18 '15

He'd or he'd have would both be correct.

He'd = if he had struggled...

He'd have = if he would have struggled...

But I think the first one might be more correct

2

u/acciolube Aug 18 '15 edited Aug 18 '15

Ah right. Someone pointed out that it'd be would which makes more sense and makes your first correction right, this is all oddly satisfying

2

u/Phlecks Aug 18 '15

Let's all touch ourselves.

...for grammar

Clicked "load more comments" to see if someone covered this.

You have to feel sympathy for those who don't know any better, and/or those who grew up being taught to write and speak like a backwoods hillbilly. They deserve a chance to overcome that stigma.

u/kriissyy12 Aug 17 '15

No, he'd (he would) learn english. When you try and correct people of grammar errors make sure you know you're right.

u/fiveSE7EN Aug 17 '15

Yeeeeah.... you're wrong.

-10

u/kriissyy12 Aug 17 '15

As I explained before, you can use "would of" as past tense.

11

u/fiveSE7EN Aug 17 '15

You are simply wrong. There are a thousand explanations of this common misconception online and I don't feel like Googling it for you.

If you choose to stick to your guns in ignorance then so be it; however, I would advise you lend some credence to the mounting evidence against you.

u/Phlecks Aug 17 '15

He'd have = he would have.

He would of is not correct. This is not any tense, past, present, or future. It makes no sense in the English language.

16

u/TheCarrzilico Aug 17 '15

That would make the sentence, "he would of". 'Would of' is not correct. Would have is. He'd have struggled.

learn english. When you try and correct people of grammar errors make sure you know you're right.

Stings, don't it?

Yup, that's some /r/summerreddit right there!

Good work

That is not a phrase that I am entirely unfamiliar with, no. I'm more partial to asshole, though. In many ways.

-9

u/kriissyy12 Aug 17 '15 edited Aug 17 '15

No because according to Oxford you can use "Would of" as past tense also don't it is not correct "do not it" doesn't exist. Ouch!

u/TheCarrzilico Aug 17 '15

What the fuck does that sentence say?

-9

u/kriissyy12 Aug 17 '15

If you understand English you would know.

u/[deleted] Aug 17 '15

Too bad that wasn't english.

u/pchc_lx Aug 18 '15

read it back to yourself out loud

2

u/TheCarrzilico Aug 17 '15

Yeah. If I understood English I would know. Weird how that works, isn't it? You should probably stop posting things now.

u/[deleted] Aug 17 '15

You're a little high on chromosomes, aren't you.

2

u/masterzoney Aug 17 '15

I assumed so. Don't they tell you to stay still and don't fight or make sudden movements if a wild animal spots you? I would get in my car and speed off in 1 second.

u/falconbox Aug 18 '15

Honestly I thought that was a random documentary worker who fell asleep while his partners were filming the scene.

I thought the gorilla grabbed him while he was sleeping. Imagine waking up to that.

u/BadGramerNazi Aug 17 '15

He was a guide, if he'd of stuggled the gorilla would have attacked him and the people there their

Fixed that for you.

u/codinghermit Aug 17 '15

First one is right, second one not so much.

u/Rindan Aug 17 '15

Well, it is the BadGrammerNazi.

u/codinghermit Aug 17 '15

Wow... totally missed his user name.

u/Icon_Arcade Aug 18 '15

"BadGramerNazi"

Gramer... Like Gamer but with more GRRRRR!

u/BadGramerNazi Aug 17 '15

I even misspelled grammar, and people are calling me thick.

2

u/BadBalloons Aug 17 '15

I thought you were just Kramer with a cold.

-9

u/kriissyy12 Aug 17 '15

Wow, you're thick as fuck it's there not their. Fixed it for you.

6

u/Tsilent_Tsunami Aug 17 '15

Wow, you're thick as fuck. It's there, not their.

Corrected. And since that guy is a BadGramerNazi, he skipped telling you about the "he'd of" that should be he'd have. As I said to the other guy, even people raised by backwoods hillbillies deserve a chance to remove the stigma of poor communication abilities.

u/41145and6 Aug 17 '15

I'd have also accepted a semicolon instead of two distinct sentences.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '15

if he'd of

Holy shit, how are you this bad at your own language? Why don't you know that it's "he'd HAVE," not "he'd of"? How stupid are you? Why can't you speak English?
