Re: Travelcards
When myself and Andi started at Upminster we had to buy zone 1-6 travelcards. Luckily when we finished at Amersham the barriers were open.

Nazis. You are pluralising it, so you don't put an apostrophe in.MylesHSG wrote:Spelling Nazi's the lot of you.

Re: Travelcards
Don't talk about pluralisation, tubeguru. You put 'mistake' when there were 2 mistakes, therefore you fail.

Re: Travelcards
I was referring to only one mistake, not TWO (you used "2" where you should have used the word "two"), so your point is rather childish.tractakid wrote:Don't talk about pluralisation, tubeguru. You put 'mistake' when there were 2 mistakes, therefore you fail.
Come on, you're making this easy for me.

Re: Travelcards
And you should say "Andi and I". This is because removing either party from the sentence (so, removing Andi or removing yourself) should still leave the sentence grammatically correct:MylesHSG wrote:When myself and Andi started at Upminster we had to buy zone 1-6 travelcards. Luckily when we finished at Amersham the barriers were open.
"When Andi started at Upminster..." - all good.
"When myself started at Upminster..." - no good.

Re: Travelcards
If I remove Andi from a sentence this is what I get:
When and I started at Upminster...
When and I started at Upminster...
