Spelling and Grammer

[sir albion]

People's spelling and grammar on here is shite. What are your excuses for writing incoherent toss?

Yeah must admit i left school 20 odd years ago and have rather lost touch of my grammar

Im successful in work though so don't give a shite

Its not so much the spelling but the use of text speak, like coz, wat m8, gr8 etc that get up my nose, find myslf not bothering to read them, as said 10 years education,it ain't too much to ask for the basics.

Lewis, remember the look on her face when I got a B in our mocks after she had told us we would fail all year, never forgotten!!

If everyone passes, she is a success.
If they fail, she would be proved right.

It's a no-lose situation for Sheila - not nice but not dim.

Just a thought, and a question aimed at our more learned NSCers...

I've just received a letter from B & H Council that is full of grammatical errors, and was wondering if it would stand up in a court of law?

I did have genuine difficulty getting to the crux of what they were on about and, as such, wonder if anything contained in it could be enforceable?

Thanks in advance...

What have they said?

There is also the wierd thing about typing where instead of spelling the word correctly, you end up inserting a different word just right.

I find myself doing it all the time.

I now the difference between were and where, but my hands are two steps ahead of my brain.

Since words that sound similiar require similiar typing patterns on the keyboard, I'll often type (for instance) "familiar", when what I really want to type is "family".

Does anyone find themselves doing that ?

I agree spelling and grammar are pretty abysmal these days, but mistakes can be made simply because of the fact you are using a keyboard.

Case in point above...

"I now the difference.."

It hardly f***ing matters.
What is sad is when people try to win an argument or put someone down by pointing out their poor spelling/grammer.

I completely disagree, but why should I bother arguing with someone who can't spell grammar?
