Hi! Have any ideas so far? :)

jokersmart · Answer

Hey! ^^ I think possibly C?

eclipsedstar · Answer

No, that's incorrect...

jokersmart · Answer

Err... B?

eclipsedstar · Answer

"I like going to this restaurant because $you$ get a free appetizer with most orders."

eclipsedstar · Answer

Yes, B is the one! :D

eclipsedstar · Answer

The "you" in that sentence is used wrong. :)

jokersmart · Answer

Ah, okay! Thanks for your help! :3

anonymous · Answer

It is B. You change from "I" to "you" in the middle of a sentence.

eclipsedstar · Answer

No problem! :)

conqueror · Answer

How is the 'you' wrong ? :P

jokersmart · Answer

Well, which one do you think it is?

conqueror · Answer

@EclipsedStar 

You're right about the sentence being wrong, but you're wrong about the word 'you' being wrong.

eclipsedstar · Answer

Well my reasoning is that "you" should be replaced with "I".

anonymous · Answer

You change from talking about yourself to talking about someone else. In regards to antecedents, doing this makes the sentence wrong and confusing.

eclipsedstar · Answer

I agree with @bisonbirdie17 :)

conqueror · Answer

It should be....I like going to this restaurant because you get a free appetizer with *more* orders.

eclipsedstar · Answer

No...

conqueror · Answer

Well, the sentence was meant to have 'you' in it. The person stating that is not only talking about himself, but is talking about everyone who goes to the restaurant.

eclipsedstar · Answer

"most" is in regards to "most orders can get a free appetizer", etc.

anonymous · Answer

That is incorrect. An antecedent, generally, goes off of the noun in the sentence. The "you" is supposed to be describing "I"...which is incorrect. The person IS only talking about himself. He/she is stating why they like that restaurant, not why everyone likes it.

eclipsedstar · Answer

Then the "I" in that sentence should be changed to "They", that's what you're proposing @Conqueror :p

eclipsedstar · Answer

"I" and "you" cannot be included in one sentence. :)

anonymous · Answer

At least not with the question at hand

eclipsedstar · Answer

Yes. :)

anonymous · Answer

@Conqueror can you help me?

anonymous · Answer

Glad we cleared that up :b

conqueror · Answer

I don't agree with that "logic"

conqueror · Answer

I'm a grammar police and I fight to death.

eclipsedstar · Answer

Are you inquiring that Polices $always$ fight to the death? o.O

conqueror · Answer

Yes.

conqueror · Answer

*Police

Polices isn't a word, unless you mean policies

conqueror · Answer

Police is both singular and plural.

anonymous · Answer

The "Grammar Police" guy does not know his Grammar. Also, I am sure that EclipsedStar simply made a typing error.

eclipsedstar · Answer

Lol typo, Mr. Grammar.

Thanks for the compliment, I didn't work especially hard to get this title. $\huge\ddot\smile$
