Grammer / Spelling

[looney]

Just should be a capital J. I counted 5 errors in 5 sentences, you have an A level in English? No wonder the countries going to the dogs.

Nsc gold!

What do you expect? If someone is going to post a thread about spelling and grammar, and makes lots of mistakes, they are asking to be pulled up, shirley?

Pulled up? Slaughtered more like.

 

[daveybgtt]

Oh no, made fun of on the internet!

 

[Frutos]

Realistically though, we did all grasp the point of what was meant.

Surely overall, that's more important?

Easy pal, it was an honest mistake. The point I was making was actually people lazily using English. Judge me all you like, I admitted a mistake at least.

I was moaning that people seem to now write the WRONG words

Considering you're going on about grammar, do you know that you've just split an infinitive there?

Should be 'country's' not 'countries'...

However the fact I spelt grammer wrong.

That I spelled Grammar wrongly.

Not yet, no. Maybe later. Hope this helps.

Someone's suffering post holiday blues

Nsc gold!

I wouldn't have thought so tbh...

These threads pop up weekly, and usually follow the same format...

Must be an Internationals break

That should be........

Sheebo makes a post about the shocking state of written English and litters his drivel with enough mistakes to fill a Croydon orphanage. Overall, that's the more ridiculous.

Actually what's more infuriating is the use of FAIL.

I would like the facility on NSC to draw a big red circle around the post so it looks like it has been marked by a teacher.

How's your baby daughter, Sheebo? Hope you are enjoying and relishing being a dad. Kids have a knack of highlighting your failings, so get used to it.

For example, today:

Me: "One, Two..?"
2 yr old daughter: "Buckle my shoe, daddy!"
Me: "Three, four...?"
Florence: "Knock at door, daddy!"
Me: "Five, six...?"
Florence: ""Pick up sticks, daddy!"
Me: "Seven, eight...?"
Florence: "Close the fridge, daddy!"

And if any of the ladeeeeeeeeeeeez make a mistake, I might be persuaded to dish out a sound botty smacking

I've apologised and held my hands up for my failings - let it go?! If you want an excuse I'm actually rather tired from various things but won't be discussing that on the internet.

Well there is the others to correct as well. Oh and there is no need for actually....

The point I was making was people are lazily using English.

She's good thanks Bry - prob the lack of sleep one of the reasons for my drivel this evening though! Not looking forward to helping her with homework in years to come now though
