Why does “is” replace “has”? @Peter & @tenfour: I think you guys actually have the right answer. One of you may want to post it as such. I often say such things as this song 'əs been written... meaning has, not is. |

What's the reason for the difference in pronunciation between “dispatch” and “dispatcher”? @Thomson: yes, I looked in a few common online dictionaries and found no discrepancy in pronunciation. |

Is “I am sat” bad English? I'm afraid you are not arguing with me but with the authors of the New Oxford American Dictionary. Feel free to take it up with them. |

“At various occasions” versus “on various occasions” @Brennan. Agreed; however, I believe we would be amiss to ignore that I like to eat broccoli at various occasions would be perfectly acceptable as long as by occasions you mean events, such as parties, balls, galas, Bar-Mitzvahs, etc. |

Is “I'd've” proper use of the English language? +1 for the insane contraction; however, being that wouldn't, couldn't and shouldn't don't (and don't for that matter) have an apostrophe before the n, I must insist upon I'dn't've rather than your proposed spelling. |
