The other says "Smell petrol?! I can't even smell my own name!"
Smell ones mother. Yaas!

"I'm dyslexic, so stop picking holes in my grammar you cnut"
Aye indeed. Being I strongly suspect sdylexi (I mean what bastard came up with that?), and having been tortured through my schools years by both my parents (keen for me to succeed, in which I think I failed em :lol ) and by school teachers cos I could never spell to save myself. I did get my higher English, and on my last day at school we had this thing where you went round your classes, handed back books etc and shook hands with your teachers. Well my English teacher said to me "Well done I suppose Gareth, I dunno how you managed that as you certainly didn't deserve it" I replied "I dunno whether I managed it to spite you or despite you Mr xxxx, but at least I'm free of your dullard English classes - good day Mr xxxx" Anyway I've become slightly obessed with my English, though I'm still crap with it, but then I'm no better at my own language. Language is a powerful tool, and good written or spoken language is become so much rarer but something I think we all enjoy. Yeah folks who make no attempt on forums, well it makes posts so hard to read, but petty nit picking, well it's what turned into a life long bind for me.

I'd say your written english is first class VNA. Not sure about the way you use it though
What really pisses me off is Uni students and graduates. Can't spell to save there/their/they're lives! Apparently spelling/grammar isn't taught at school anymore, although it's making a comeback.

What irritates me, are people who use 'txt spk'. It's plain lazy in normal typing circumstances. It also makes you sound like a 12 year old.

I don't post much because typing takes me ages. People that bug me are the ones who "loose" something then come home having "brought" a new one when out shopping.

Not sure about the way you use it though The teaching of spelling and grammar was made compulsory upon the introduction of the National curriculum in 1988. The previous government overhauled things with the introduction of the New Primary Curriculum a few years ago, with, again, there being emphasis on spelling and grammar being taught. Finally, the present government have introduced a grammar testing element to this year SATS tests for year 6 children. We await their wise rulings on what exactly they want us to teach regarding literacy skills as they have jettisoned the New Primary Curriculum introduced by New Labour. Rearrange the following to make a well-known phrase: brewery up couldn't piss arrange a in a - Unfortunately, English is an incredibly difficult language to master proficiently given its complexities, exceptions and anomalies. Is it any wonder the kids struggle? Most adults struggle to write and punctuate to the standard expected of a child of 11. How many of you punctuate your sentences with : or ; ? Is it that beneficial to teach spellings with the prefix circum- (circumnavigate, circumference)? Perhaps if you wish to become a round-the-world yachts person? Teaching lists of spellings is great for kids with great rote learning abilities, but not a lot of good to many children, especially if not taught in context. Teaching Standard English is very difficult when a significant minority of children spend all but their time at school speaking in non-standard, slang or colloquialisms ("It were nuff good when me and frank was playing on us xboxes last night."). One perseveres to maintain the beauty of our language. Long Live the Apostrophe! ![[Image: 147972.png]](http://mefi.us/images/fuelly/smallsig-uk/147972.png)

I have been working from home the earlier part of the week which gave me a rare chance to help the kids with homework.
my eldest (year 5) had to put punctuation into a paragraph. I let him have a go on his own then went through it with him, i'm looking forward to see how it was marked when I get home on Friday!! as for spelling the teachers seem more concentrated as to insisting they use joined up writting rather than spelling or even legibility. My own handwritting is attrocious so I print everything as for my spelling I tend to use spell checker in work doc's or emails!
It ain't what you ride, it's who you ride with!!!
