Put a comma after "No":
No, I'm knot.
Their- fixed it four youse.
That's right. As Jeff Cooper said, this is the "Age of the comma, man."

Worst problem I ever had (not exactly punctuation) was:
fencepost is one word
posthole is one word
what do you do with fence post hole?
I called the reference section of the Denver Public Library. They were great people and enjoyed the questions I asked.
I called back half an hour later, and heard a lot of screaming and yelling in the background. I was told, "Sorry, Mr. Francis, we don't have an answer for you today".

I don't find "knifes" to be nearly as egregious an error as telling someone that you have a "12 guage shotgun".

Actually it's add "es" to any word-ie: pantses, ghostses,
As in "Pull up your pantses so you can run if the ghostses comes after you."
Since we are delving into grammer-how many know how to conjugate the verb "To Be".?
Answer:
Singular:
I be
you be
he be
Plural:
We be
y'all be
they be

Does that mean the singular is "Knafe about Knife"???Knaves about knives.
???Or instead of saying "Please pay careful attention to what I am about to say" we say "Lookee here"
Gawd I do so love the intricacies of the English language.

And I forget. Is it Burl Ives or Burl Ifes?
That may be true in parts of eastern Europe, although I disagree with your spelling. However, in Utah, the plural of spouse is spice.
Actually, it means geneology nightmare if great-grandpa had three wives and 20 children...

I'll bet anyone that reads thread will never misspell knives again.
Thank you T.S.

Not sure anyone misspelt it in the first place. Most were trying to spell "knifes," and did a fairly good job of it.
