Hmmm.... I always thought it was Threw Hike. Go figure.
I thought you said it was pronounced "Advance...North"???

Who cares? I understand what they mean and so do you. It isn't English class.
It doesn't matter on this forum. Best to keep grammar/english corrections to a forum where people care about that kind of stuff.

Well said. . . I definitely need to go hike. . . I might even do a through hike. . . .Originally Posted by brooklynkayak
HYOH... unless you call it a through hike, and then *you're doing it wrong*...
Call it whatever you want... it's just a stupid label for hiking for a long time anyway.
Don't take anything I say seriously... I certainly don't.
In all fairness to the OP there was a time when most hikers used thru while most packsniffers used through.
Well how much heavier could three extra letters really be? . . .In all fairness to the OP there was a time when most hikers used thru while most packsniffers used through.
P.S. I was thinking of doing a thorough hike next year or is that a threw-hike?.
Wish me luck:-)

In German, there is no "th" sound... so for them it's a True-Hike.

But if this was english class the OP would be wrong anyway.
"English" should be capitalized, and you're using the subjunctive case, so it should be "...if this were English class..."
Just saying.
If people spent less time being offended and more time actually living, we'd all be a whole lot happier!
My pet peeve is people coming into a forum and complaining about grammer and spelling.
You know people who write sentences and putting "........" in the middle of them and then bolding and underlining words for no apparent reason and then incorrectly putting colons at then end of the sentence (and them complain the wrong spelling of a word).
Nice Bearpaw!"English" should be capitalized, and you're using the subjunctive case, so it should be "...if this were English class..."
Just saying.

Robin: "Golly Gee Willikers, You can't get away from Batman that easy!"
Batman: "Easily."
Robin: "Easily."
Batman: "Good grammar is essential, Robin."
Robin: "Thank you."
Batman: "You're welcome."
I'm so confused, I'm not sure if I lost my horse or found a rope.
Does that mean you eat donuts not doughnuts?
Apparently doughnuts are for packsniffers. . .
Donuts are for through-hikers. . . .
woopsie. . . i mean thru. . . .
not. . .
you guys keep this up and camojack is gonna make an appearance....
Spokes, relax a little. Thru is a word that can be used as a preposition, adverb or adjective. Thru is an informal, simplified spelling of THROUGH.
