My grammar is rubbish and my typing is so bad that I get letters in the wrong places all the time (I love my spellcheck...I can actually spell but it corrects typos quicker than I can)

I've never been taught where to use commas, apostrophes etc.

I was taught capital letters and full stops, but that's about it. I just guess mostly and I've learnt a few tips over the years from the forums (<<<See, I know that's supposed to be fora) Laugh

It doesn't offend me at all to see spelling and grammar errors...but this "as" "has" thing has got me confused...I don't know how the "h" got lost.

No! Eeker
I'd have gone round there and played holy hell with her. Unbelievable!

This happened right at the end of term, and the teachers were having a clear out of all the exercise books for the year, so the book in question was sent home a couple of days later. Once I had another school place sorted out, I went to see the Headteacher and showed her the book. She didn't seem particularly concerned Eeker

Jeebus, I bet you were livid. If ever there's a time for a stiff letter to the local education department and board of governors, coupled with a threat to ring the local rag.. Ninja

That school doesn't sound fit to teach a dog to cock its leg!

I remember my little niece showing me her homework one day and the teacher's comments in the margin. I couldn't believe the grammar and the spelling mistakes - made by this teacher Eeker

But dontcha just LOVE people who proceed to criticise & rip apart how you post, whilst making several errors themselves tooRoll Eyes Laugh

That is the only time I ever comment on anyone's spelling Devil
Oh, apart from when someone's typo has left their post open to a smutty interpretation, or similar Nod

Your level of typing accuracy on here is awesome, mate. Disappointed Even when you're messing about, you always have everything covered.
