The difference between draw and drawer...

[renault12ts]

...one is something you might do with a pencil, the other is where you might find the pencil. They are not pronounced the same way.

Rant over.

How does one pronounce one who draws then. Would that be artist or drawer.

I'm with renault on this - it's one of those things that rankles (and it's not grammar - it's simply the wrong word!)

A bit like "a hole in a break line will make you loose all the fluid"

Or grocers apostrophe's

They drive me mad!

If someone who draws is called a drawer...then it's pronounced the same way as the drawer where the same person might place his drawings.

Isn't a drawer someone who draws

So if I pull her drawers down, will lots of pencils fall out?

The misuse of "brought" instead of "bought" really gets to me!!

Wow, what a weird first post ...

So if I pull her drawers down, will lots of pencils fall out?

Only if she does not have flabby buttocks!!

Yes, if that's where she keeps them.

Interesting- I had to consult a dictionary to confirm that pronunication, as other than on B&W film/TV I don't recall anyone sounding the "er" part. Just doesn't sound right to me, so I'll continue to be a wild non-conformist and flaunt the rules.

Problem???

Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.

Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.

Capitalization is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse and helping your Uncle jack off a horse.
