Oh dear - there's some corkers their there

And that is a prefect example!  

You meant that , didn't you ?  

ROFL!!!!! 

Don't you mean there is some corker's in there? 

Goes to correct typo!

DONE!    See that was a typo and not just me being a twatty speller! 

Or even there are..... but then again with a subject like this and answers like those, who can tell who is being ironic and who is just being twatty!

Nobody knows...

oh, no post mentioning "could/should of" and "could/should have" yet, someone must be slipping up!

Someone used to have a sig which differentiated their/there/they're.

Can't remember who it was though.

Your confusing me, their is no wrong or write in posting a reply surely, otherwise the red wiggly line under my words tells me so........Haven't had one so far in this post...

On here I use lots of .......instead of commas n stuff. In real life I speak real good and spell proper good. 

That page had me screaming, and not with laughter.

I too use lots of ...................................don't really know why to be honest. it just feels right. As far as spelling and grammar goes I generally let it go but .........sometimes it irks a bit I have to say.I try very hard to spell correctly but I do have a very sticky 'u' and in all honesty - at the end of the night it very often goes tits up.

..............These are my pauses, to take a breath,  as in oral speech, a time to think, before I carry on speaking..........enough said 

Ooo! Matron!

Hehe!  I often type one-eyed at the weekend looking for errors to correct. I'm gonna let it all go one of these nights 

That one really really does my head in 

It's the could of, would of, should of with me 

 

I'm off to bed, before the sh** hits the fan  

Oh LOSEN up

Evening xx

Saying 'off of' instead of from....

 

I.E. I got [something] off of  [a person]

 

< No you didn't, you got it FROM that person.... >

Mr Blizz says "Off of" instead of "Off", as in "Get off of the table". 

i had a letter from school today which had several mistakes, the most glaringly obvious was "injur,y"  -  no spell check?

I put my hands up my grammer is far from perfect I have always disliked the forum police pulling people up for their spelling mistakes etc it just belittles them, I find it very rude and glad to say it does not happen very often on here and when it does I just ignore them...

 

Well said Marge I personally dislike bad grammar but you have to consider that not everyone is good at it and some people are dyslexic, so I would NEVER comment on any improper grammar! Also, I am guilty of abbreviating words if I'm in a hurry

Scott Mills says that all the time. "Simon Cowell off of X Factor" , "Rihanna off of Barbados" .

Good post Marg   I think everyone is entitled to get irked by whatever they choose to let irk them, and they are free to have a moan about it.  But I agree that its not very nice to put people down, and point out their bad grammar/spelling, because some people feel bad enough about it as it is. My hubby is quite bad at English but is very intelligent and good at other things: (science, I.T and model making for a start....)  AND more people are average or poor at English than the number of people who are good at it. 

 

I am good at English, but am not brilliant at maths.  My youngest daughter's friend is brilliant at maths and started her A level at the start of year 11, and she has a 'people who aren't good at maths, are obviously less intelligent than me' attitude, and some who are brilliant at English have this attitude too, and have a low tolerance for people who aren't...  I am guilty of this myself from time to time...  So I agree that actually calling people out on it is out of order, but that said, people are still free to get narked by it.  Everyone has their different irrational dislikes. 

 

What I do hate though is people putting how r u, wot r u doin and horrid shortenings of words like that on forums and message boards.

 

 

 

fwiw I dont no wot u mean 

im off now c u l8er

 

 

 hate text speak

it doesnt bother me on here but it really boils my piss when its in a newspaper... these people get paid to know how to spell ffs.... and when i see it in a book i lose all interest

That's probably a proof reader problem Clumsy. I wonder, do they still employ them any more 

Unfortunately I don't think they do. They supposedly became a dying breed when spellcheckers came on the scene, but even spellcheckers need proofreaders!

 

*Hides the tippex and pretends she didn't spell something incorrectly*
