Likewise with "thru". However, the assertion that the two forms are interchangeable is flawed, since "thru" is a fragment of the colloquial drive-thru and thus should not "stand alone" as a preposition. Furthermore, the use of an ellipsis in the sentence is incorrect; a comma would have been the appropriate punctuation. CZroe March 16th, 2010, 03:02 AM it would be through, not "through".

"NO THRU TRAFFIC" is much more common though. CC Cowboy March 16th, 2010, 09:25 AM over 15,000 bikers rode threw paris on a protest , info on youtube This comment was taken out of context. There should have been a comma after rode. ...over 15,000 bikers rode, threw paris on a protest, paris should also have a capital "P". Thence, ...over 15,000 bikers rode, threw Paris on a protest. I also think it should be, " this threw Paris into a protest". Now that Paris has been thrown on (or into) a protest, I ask, "was this about cheese, wine, or some other important French per-dick-a-ment"? Maybe it was supposed to read, "over 15,000 biker road, this threw Paris into a protest". Was the road not big enough? Was the road only for bikers? There really isn't enough information! I have searched youboob and not found any such protest. tapdiggy March 16th, 2010, 10:27 AM 6072 6073 It is still modifying a noun and not being used as a preposition.:focus: I yield ninja man March 17th, 2010, 12:50 PM sorry i was in a rush Snake March 17th, 2010, 02:59 PM It would be through, not "through".

Hey let me look up an appropriate joke and post it here. Snake March 17th, 2010, 03:17 PM Here ya go. Even with spell checker you can still mess up. Dew knot trussed yore spell chequer two fined awl yore mistakes - Brendon Hills BlueRaven March 17th, 2010, 03:18 PM i think you meant grammar and not grammer, right snake...sorry i just had to do it i hope i don't get any nightmare about french grammar, french high school was a nightmare in itself. (thought i'd put something linked to france in here since that's what the topic was original about) Snake March 17th, 2010, 03:31 PM :focus: I looked for it on youtube but could not find it. Could you post a link to to it ninja man? Would realy appreciate it. CZroe March 22nd, 2010, 02:48 AM :focus: I looked for it on youtube but could not find it. Could you post a link to to it ninja man? Would realy appreciate it. It has been found! (http://www.ninjette.org/forums/showthread.php?t=39944) We should probably move the on-topic discussion there. That leaves us with an on-going off-topic conversation to continue. :) It is still modifying a noun and not being used as a preposition.:focus: I yield Luckily, I only said that it "is also deemed acceptable in some cases." Those cases were where a shortened version is required, like on space-limited signs, forms, and road markings. In fact, I was specifically thinking of markings I've seen actually painted on the road when I said that but I mentioned fast-food because it's nearly universally applied there. tapdiggy March 22nd, 2010, 02:51 AM Let it go.
