Re: Join The Guild of Scratch Knigths
Minor quibble: "subsitute it with my own" is bad grammar.
Do you mean "replace it with my own" or "subsitute it for my own"?
They have opposite meanings!

Re: Join The Guild of Scratch Knigths
Thanks--I don't like to be "grammar police", but I've had a lot of scientific papers to review that have had this mistake in them, so it bugs me.

Interestingly enough, "substitute with" is accepted as standard English, according to the Oxford American Dictionary. Anyway, in an artistic/programming forum with users from all around the world, aren't we more interested in encouraging expression than expecting grammatical correctness?

Re: Join The Guild of Scratch Knigths
I agree, and I don't normally point out grammar problems (this was the first time in over 900 posts), it is just that that particular usage hits a sore spot with me, as "substitute with" seems to be used for both "replace with" and "substitute for" and the two have quite different meanings!
