What is this place? A football forum or a English language school?

Too many threads spoiled by the correction police recently.
That is all.

AN English language school surely?








No, actually I agree - there are one or two things that can be a bit irritating grammatically but for the large part it really doesn't matter and anyway spelling and punctuation are ever evolving (some might say with the advent of texting that they are disappearing). It's what people say that matters, or perhaps what they mean. Certainly not how they say it as long as the sense is clear.

It annoys me to a forum has people of all difrent types of backgrounds and mite even have people with learning difficulties on it then you always get some prick with a dictionary correcting everyone's spelling

LOL. I went over the thread several times before posting as well to make sure that the letter pickers couldn't have a whinge! Missed that one. But seriously, every other thread seems to turn into a rant over grammar/punctuation and the like. Getting a tad annoying.

 

[chucky1973]

its gud my righting and gramer have got much bettr since i bean postin on ear, as i used too get bad marks at scool.
Mr Jack Liddell use to beat me with his slipper if I made a mistake in my lessons at the Knoll School for Boys.

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

It's part of human nature to love to be right. People don't mind making others wrong just so they can be right.

You can see it in the spelling threads. You can see it in the Newcastle fan witch hunt happening tonight.

 

[Superphil]

Your right

Too many mistakes might be a mite irritating though.


I had a teacher at Hove County called Jack Liddell but he was a maths teacher. Ex-RSM not long out of the services and a deadly aim with a blackboard rubber.............................bastard!

Some people on here have naff all else in their lives apart from either insulting, correcting or moaning at others.

That's Jack, after he left the Knoll to teach the clever kids at Hove County.

I think it is simply a common courtesy to follow the basics of English language if you expect people to read what you have written.

Not using capitals, forgoing punctuation and using words incorrectly is just lazy.

I don't believe it is any coincidence that the posters most people enjoy reading (usually Edna, BoF, Easy 10 etc) are not simply people with opinions worth reading, but also people who make the effort to type with a consideration for the reader rather than just themselves.

It's not a football forum. It's a moaning forum. Anything is fair game.
