The problem is, you have wouldn't which is past tense. Would not. You are talking about the future so you need to use won't. Will not. Or you could change bet to betted. But that would change the meaning of the sentence completely.

It's not about grammar or anything.

Hint: Think about scratch history - what has led to getting some people banned

But "bet" can be past tense. There is no such word as "betted", "bet" can be present or past.

Looks like Lucario's found it out. Congratulations.

Kileymeister · 2010-02-22 20:58:38

The ... is used in a lot of "I quit" topics?

Honestly, I just have not a clue, except Ace said I was right earlier, but he was probably joking.

Which I know he was

"Bet" can still be past tense, so you are still wrong tongue

BWOG, does it have anything to do with grammar?

demosthenes · 2010-02-22 21:13:09

It is the "l" in people which is actually a capital "i"

Thats it!!!

Ace-of-Spades · 2010-02-22 21:20:18

But now other people won't have a chance at guessing since you gave the answer away. (I used invisible, for lack of a better word, text to hide the answer)

scmb1 · 2010-02-22 21:33:57

I soIved it! smile

GirWaffles64 · 2010-02-22 21:39:29

Yup.

16Skittles · 2010-02-23 17:30:42

I figured it out before i read the other user's posts! the scratch font makes it hard to tell, but i could see in the tabs.

Ace-of-Spades · 2010-02-23 18:41:45

Me too (obviously)
There's a small difference between 'l' and 'I' if you know where to look.
