    Not being as well educated as most on here could someone tell what is wrong with this sentence??

    Their not firing them because their bored, their doing it because for years they've had the life squeezed out of them....

    Thanks...

    Their should be replaced with - They are or they're, I think that is all but I'm not great with English either

    I agree with Arthur, although if it was the Ducati forum they would also try and rub salt in the wound by also pointing out that there should be a capitol I in "Thanks boys, i am a tad thick" it would never occur to them it was irony at work.

    Oh yeah haha, and no full stop plus two spaces after the end the sentence...


    MM trust me my English Grammar is 100% CRAP.


    Note: If my spelling or grammar is out it's the iPads fault.

    Pisonheads have the grammar police and as fare as I'm concerned they can sod off. Just glad I'm not on the Ducati forum either.

    That’s why I don’t bother with it anymore, if I want to be ridiculed I can always phone my ex-wife who unlike them is an expert at it.
