Yeah, but still. I mean, his English isn't great, but it's okay. It's odd that he should make this mistake.

Fuck, homie, his typed English is better than 20% of the people I attend university with.


(Which I am sure you are going to turn around on me.)
Depends on whether they are trying to write decent English or not. I'm sure their papers are alright.

Not that I'm an expert on this stuff, but I read something in the papers this week about a girl writing a letter to the Queen demanding an apology, because a swan bit her. Anyway, there was a part where they mentioned that the voiceless (?) swans in Thames are the ones that the Queen owns. But you may be right.

Lol, I found the story.

LONDON — Elishia Stevenson wanted an apology when she was bitten by a swan. So she wrote to Queen Elizabeth II.

The 6-year-old girl from Cornwall, south west England, wrote to Buckingham Palace because her mother told her the queen owns all the swans in Britain. She decorated her letter with flowers and a picture of a swan with a sad face.

A lady-in-waiting responded, saying the queen was "sorry to hear about the swan."

Though the queen doesn't own every swan in Britain, she does own certain mute swans in the Thames. This tradition goes back to the 12th century, when roast swan was considered a delicious dish, and continues today with the annual "Swan Upping," a census of swans on the Thames.

David Pogson, a Buckingham Palace spokesman, said the idea the queen owns all the swans is a myth.
