Forum Name-->Oops!

[MVBC]

The name of the forum should actually be "Hop Growing" (or "Growing Hops").

Don't worry; it's a common mistake.

 

[Pappers_]

This is one of your three posts?

I'm glad you told me not to worry...because I haven't been.

What's the mistake?

 

[strumke]

Grammar check isn't working????

My guess is something-green-and-leafy-that-eases-glaucoma-growing.

"Hop growing", why grow one hop?

If you want to get technical, there's actually a fair bit of lexical idiosyncrasy in how the nouns of transitive gerunds are marked for agreement (which, of course, is the case for all functionally shifted non-finite clauses). For example, though we don't tend to say "beets farming", we do say "sports casting" and "mice eating".

Out of you're 3 posts, to of them are trying two correct people's grammer or spelling. Dont worry, its a common misteak.

Actually, it looks like you've posted to the wrong forum. You should be complaining about other people's grammatical mistakes in a forum such as this: http://thegrammarexchange.infopop.cc/eve/forums

Don't worry; it's a common mistake.

And just to get things back on track, my hops growing is off to a great start this season. The Cascades are exploding out of the ground thanks to this freakishly warm weather.

grammars flogging? How's that.

idiosyncrasy in language? Try pig latin. ow-knay at-whay I'm aying-say? (I make it look easy, I know, I'm a native speaker)

[i really just wanted to get in on this thread while the getting was good]

 

[Homercidal]

All three are acceptable forms (or will be if we use them enough...)

 

[tchuklobrau]

lol ok time for me to show my redneck illiterate roots. If the plant is HOPS why would i drop the s when refering to growing them? I know i did 3rd grade 6 times but I dont think they covered that there.

I could see sum think wrong their; the periods and commas actually. Made cents in how they were, placed
