@Jay: His original post, "yesterday, i'm intended ...", proved that he wanted to use the passive voice, so i just rewrited it and kept the passive voice as it was. Maybe his post is hard to understand but he did wanna use the passive voice.

err... not so sure, but a part of me is still considering "subtitle" as both countable & uncountable noun lolz. personal preference maybe.

Oh I missed this post. Sorry Jay. Well, I meant it. I had wanted to mean it before and his question gave me a "chance" to speak it out.

Who cares you care? You didn't say nothing and you'd better keep that. That's what I care for, once you feel like saying like this post.

IMO "to intend" is pretty much about one's self decision. It is similar to some other verbs like "talk, think, decide...". You will never see anything like "I was talked" or "I was thought" because if you say "I was talked" it mean somebody did the talking to you.

Don't get me wrong, but remember the "Prison Break" subtitle project you and me and those guys attended the year before last? It's me who invited you guys and you happily did that web-based subtitle checker for us. I'm so so sorry I myself screwed it up later, by the way.

I've never seen anyone using with the word "intend" formed like that. At least, in its meaning, the word "intend" has meant that "you want to do something with your own plan in the future". So you must use it in active voice here, not passive.

Of course I rememebr you mate.

But do not mind about that project, we can always do other things together in this amazing community.

One question, does anyone know why people uses "I will be sending you..." instead of "I will send you..."?
