Your "grammer" (sic) correction on the Paul is dead page have been reverted twice now. The original "he'd" is correct. One who spells "grammar" as "grammer" may not be the best candidate for correcting the grammar of others. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 21:05, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry for any mistakes I might be making, I'm not even sure this is the right place to answer you. You were right about the spelling mistake I made, but I'm quite sure I'm right about the grammar (this time with an A *_*)
 * The sentence is: "He would have been 28 if he had lived." which is contracted to "He'd have been 28 if he'd lived." The "lived" is in the past pluperfect state (i.e. the fact of his death is already accepted to have occurred in the past).  It needs the "had" to achieve this tense and this sense.

 * Again, not correct. You've changed the whole meaning of the sentence.  The idea "He would be 28 (today) if he had lived" (remember, the sentiment was expressed at the time that McCartney actually WAS 28!).  I think it's best if you just drop this edit, and find another article to update. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 02:52, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
