This. I often use bad grammer and wrong spelling but really cant be arsed to correct myself, much like typing U instead of you in a text. As long as people understand what you are saying.

The purpose of language!

This this this this this, and this.

NSC seems to be full of self congratulating english professors. Why don't you all go and join an english language chat club and gloat about your superior intellect amongst fellow twats. This is a f*cking footie site. Sweet Jesus, get over yourselves.

I agree. Their are lots more interesting things to be talking about and there posts just wind me write up.

I'll try to inform the man who wrote the words to the Hymn "Jerusalem".

Youll have a job, hes been dead since 1827.




Where did I put those apostrophes. Here they are - ''. Would you care to insert them somewhere for me please?

See if you can pop this somewhere. ?

Should you be starting sentences?

That it is a solecism to begin a sentence with and is a faintly lingering superstition. The OED gives examples ranging from the 10th to the 19th c.; the Bible is full of them.

If I get to the same place as him, I'll tell him when I arrive.

By the way, should I have used a capital "I" after the comma above?

Did he start a verse with a parenthesis? I never knew that!

I prefer his one: lolpics f***ing GRAMMAR!!, which may be inappropriate to post as an embedded image without getting the thread moved.

No, I was referring to the use of the word "And" in the first line of the Hymn.

 

[Seagull on the wing]

The occasional spelling mistake is forgivable,a typo error or one too many drinky poos,it's the murder of the English mother tongue that is annoying,(Cheryl Cole please note!)..."Thars no dout bout it, yer a star." but she is forgiven as she is shagable. Lol!

FFS you cretins.

Unbelievable levels of illiteracy on this board.

That is all.

It makes me grimace when I see these words mis-used... BUT - we're all different and none of us perfect, so get over it!
We're all here because (hopefully) we love Brighton and this board is for matters pertaining to the beautiful game, not the finer points of grammar.
