This from someone who starts a sentence with "because"?
 
You're also not winning. Not now anyway.

 
Perfectly acceptable to start a sentence with "because".
 
For example
 
"Because Dr Rob had a headache, he didn't fancy going to work that day"

Let's examine that claim shall we?
Indeed, lockman, you can put a because at the start of a sentence IF there is an independent clause after it.

' Because Dr Rob had a headache, '
This is your dependent clause, it can not make sense on its own. It needs an independent clause to make sense.
' he didn't face going to work that day. '
This is a independent clause. It does make sense in its own and it could be a full sentence. As there is one independent clause we call this a ' simple sentence '. With an independent and a dependent clause we have a ' complex sentence '.


In the sentence:

Because we've been defending the English language in all its glory from the misuse of commas and apostrophes.
 
[/indignance]

There is no independent clause which means it is a failed attempt at a complex sentence.
 


 
The independent clause is implicit. You will NOT catch me out, sir, you may as well stop trying and indeed, winning.

[the_lock_man]

What's the problem with tetras?

ok so i think for like the millionth time i am chickening out with tetras and going with livebearers

 
 
"bok, bok, bok"
 
Why are you scared of tetras? 

 

[az9]

Did anybody see what I said?

 

[the_lock_man]

Sorry, AZ9, there are so many different strands to this thread, it's difficult to keep track. Why don't you post in the main forum for some decent advice?

 

[az9]

ok. that's fine.

i will try tropical discussion.

you should have herd what my brother was saying yesterday. he was telling me that people get fish because they hardly have to take care of them. he said all you have to do is feed them and maybe once in a while do a water change and he was  saying that it doesn't matter how many fish are in a tank. i told him i'm telling all you guys that he said that and he said everyone on this website are big time geeks.

 

[daizeUK]

Yay I love geeks!

theres nothing wrong with tetras, its just that every kind i want i cant seem to put in a 10gal

and i want variety, not just 1 school of 1 type of fish. i am limited to petsmart fish and they have some nice tetras (the ones above) on sale for $1. i am on a budget but i also want fish that i like. i dont want to do something boring like just shrimp or just a betta..... sigh...
