What happened to BigRed54?

Go to last post
it should read, "does anyone remember this guy, or know what happened to him".

Cheers.

Does anybody remember this guy I knows what happened to him?

Here's a link to one of his threads. All of the pictures and the
website are gone.

I'm just curious to what happened to him.

He said what I stopped myself from suggesting.

And no, I don't have a clue (to that fellow).

You'll have to ignore the gallery's collection of bad compositions, improper exposures, and amateurish post processing. ;)

 
I can go either way with "anybody" or "anyone" but "know" doesn't flow right without the "s" on it, i.e. "knows". Taking out "and" and substituting it with ", or" would make it seem like either one would be okay. I'm only concerned with those that remember the guy "and" have knowledge of what happened to him.

OK I stir the pot a bit...

There seems to be a missing comma, and thus the knows would turn into know. Such as this: Does anybody remember this guy, and know what happened to him? Better yet, the sentence should read as follows: Does anybody remember this guy or know what happened to him?

The rule of grammar that applies here is making the linking verb agree with the subject. In this case, anybody is linked to remember and know. Just my two cents.

Oh, and no I do not know what happened to this fellow.

It is all about the moment…
once passed…never retrieved…
once captured…never forgotten.

This IS the essence of photography

I think I'd personally go with an alternative: "does anyone remember this guy, or know what's happened to him?" ;-)

No, I don't I'm afraid.

So many photos, so little time . . .

Please do not amend and re-post my images unless specifically requested or given permission to do so.
 
But there is really no need for a pause (comma) in that sentence.

Thanks Aaron. After enduring "bonehead English" at university, these lessons stuck. I did not want to come off as being uppity, and hope that the reason is correct. However, I do feel that it is, and the original intent of the OP was not really answered.

Let me throw another name into the mix. A name which was very popular this time last year, but after the launch of the 30D went away. That name is Snapman. Where is this poster?

True, which is why the second sentence is missing the comma. Either way should work.

Never thought it was uppity, just having a good time playing "word" games. Besides, the proper word is not "uppity", it is "discerning".

Good question. Earlier this summer I did a search for him but found no new posts. Someone else questioned his absence but nothing came up. From prolific poster to nothing overnight, fell off the face of the earth with no warning. Possibly accident or health problem, a real conundrum.
