Car Forum / Land Rover Cars / October 2004Realy Realy OT ?
Just watched an advert for yes car credit and I have a question for all the intelligentsia heree. The two little girls in the back seat of the car sau "we would say yes" to a question asked by the blond girl, but thay don't say "we would" but a contraction of the two words "we would" . How do you spell that contraction? I can't figure it out. -- Your help is, as always, greatfully receved. Rory Manton 1957 109 Series One, Daisy 1965 Series 11 SWB GS , Rose.

I wasn't aware that 'we had' could be contracted ... but assuming it can and you're right, then as it wouldn't normally be used singularly and out of context in a normal sentence, it isn't really a problem. SignaturePaul ... (8(|) Homer Rules !!! "A tosser is a tosser, no matter what mode of transport they're using." So Paul - xxx was, like >> Unfortunately that contraction is indistinguishable from that for we >> had! > > I wasn't aware that 'we had' could be contracted ... Course it can! _We would_ have been wet if _we had_ been outside in the rain = We'd have been wet if we'd been outside in the rain. Lots of words sound the same - bear (animal), bear (carry), bare (unclothed) - the context usually makes the meaning clear. This naked animal is injured - can you bear the bare bear to hospital? Or something. I'll get me trapper's hat...
