Grammer / Spelling

[Sheebo]

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.

I think there's different levels of English though. I was reffering to basic words, not English A Level standard punctuation on NSC which myself and others aren't going to take seriously.

Kudos for spelling 'embarrassed' right though. I ALWAYS get it wrong.

I'll probably get slaughtered for writing this but if you are embarrassed about your spelling or grammar then perhaps you ought to do something about it. Conversely, if you are not bothered about it then simply carry on posting and ignore the corrective responses.

I am dyslexic so its not as easy as that, i feel i have come as far as i can, i have had private tutors up until the age of about 19, then just felt i had come as far as i can.

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

Whilst I'm not one to argue that a split infinitive should always be avoided, on this occasion I have to say that it grates a tad.

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.

You started the thread. This is an internet fail on scales hitherto only even dreamt about (well, probably not) so you deserve hideous amounts of ridicule for trying to be pedantic, and making yourself look silly. As this is how the inrternet works.

Typo intentionally left in

From this post it would appear the real reason is that you just cant be bothered to type correctly.

*can't

 

[HovaGirl]

I think you will find it is spelt GRAMMAR

I think that is what the OP is trying to say.

 

[HovaGirl]

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.

OK - corrections for the corrector
Full-stop required after sentences(.) followed by a capital Y (You)
A-level
country's (or country is)

 

[HovaGirl]

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

Surely overall, that's more important?

An overall is a protective garment sometimes worn over other garments
Surely, over all, that's more important?

Someone's suffering post holiday blues

I'm going to be really pedantic: post-holiday blues.

 

[HovaGirl]

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

That, of course, would be botty-smacking. (Still in pedant mode!)

Was trying to say, past tense, I think he has legged it.
