Its "supersede"

It's "supersede", or it is "supersede". Not "its supersede".

Me reckon.

They should of said "Last years model".

That's "should have said..."

Supercede and supersede are both acceptable. I prefer supercede.

Well bugger me. Just looked it up and its true - 2 dictionary entries for "supercede" and 6 for "supersede". (zero for "superceed")

Going to the etymology I see > from M.Fr. superceder "desist, delay, defer," from Latin supersedere "sit on top of, stay clear of, abstain from, forbear, refrain from," from super "above" (see super-) + sedere "to sit"

I'll stick with "supersede" and continue to revile "superceed"

And I agree. "Should of" is straight out of the CIA handbook for hands off torture.

I do a lot of technical document writing in my line of work, and small grammatical mistakes, such as using "of" instead of "have", can make all the difference in the meaning of a phrase.

It particularly pisses me off when I have to review a document for content, but end up having to correct the spelling and grammar of the tard who wrote it.

Also, with all the grammar Nazis around, I'm surprised no-one picked up on the missing apostrophe above...

oops

BTW, I believe the correct spelling is "whorehouse"

I can'r make up my mind between the Nosh or the Funatic, maybe a Nirth sail as well!
