Talk to Phil

Seeing as Phil knows a great deal about everything (general life) and especially grammar, I think that we should have a thread where we ask Phil stuff. =]

Why do so many people like Pink Floyd? I don't have any grudge against them, but I don't really like their music.

Man, that came from way out in left field!!Q12321 wrote:Why do so many people like Pink Floyd? I don't have any grudge against them, but I don't really like their music.
What exactly prompted that?
I dig Floyd but only the Roger Waters era. Try kicking back, relaxing and listening to Wish You Were Here all the way through. If you are into mind-altering substances (and I'm not encouraging or condoning their usage) indulge in your favorite before playing music.

Hey, Philp, isn't "it's" also used to refer to possessive things (ie, "I took out it's shelves, now it's defenseless"), as well as a contraction? If so, then when does one use "its"?

That would actually be "I took out its shelves, now it's defenseless.
"Its" is possessive, "it's" is a contraction.
They really don't teach this in school anymore?

Okay, what do you mean by "not really"? It was a yes or no question.palmboy5 wrote:not really phil.. not really...
Do they still teach it and you guys just "do not really pay attention"?

My teachers teach a little bit of grammar (It's sad that most people can't spell that). These guys just don't apply it.
