How do you know 4 pointers living in the US don't require hints?

 

I'm sure you mean "WE 4 pointers don't require hints!"

 

And "hint" is a common noun. It doesn't take a capital letter unless you are starting a new sentence.

It was a typo. He meant to hit the key below 'h'. The 'b' key. You fill in the rest!

It was dramatic emphasis to lend gravitas to the notion of entering into the serious stage of hinting. I compensated for the abuse of grammer flexing (here, stealing a capital letter) by starting the next sentence without a capital.

 

Would you say,

'people such as us' or

'people such as we'?

 

Would you say,

us'uns (are goin down the shops)

or weuns (are goin up the town)?

this ones about ready for a stumper, hmm?

Don't give me your excuses boy!

 

"people such as we" (Although the construct is a clumsy one)

 

As for your second question; neither. These are examples of slovenly provincial dialect and should certainly not be used in written prose. It is the patois of the underclass and I would be grateful if you could keep it safely within your sectarian hell hole.

can't do that, no more than I can stop the rain storms sweeping across to cast a damp shadow on the 'green and pleasant land'.

 

Do you think that there can be such a thing as a damp shadow?

It's more the sort of thing you'd find in the dark valleys of Wales I suppose.
