Not very nice about his spelling are they?

It could even be that the questions are genuine and those asking are just very poor at spelling.

 

That would stretch my credulity beyond all its limits, Dave

I'm not sure what I think on this one. I am anal about grammar, and have been for quite a while, I correct people in my head all the time, and occasionally I will say something. Its not always good. I think that if we make it "ok" for people to be shamefully bad at grammar/spelling we might as well give up. Therefor I think we should try and point out bad grammar and spelling, to help those people. I realise I sound like an arse, I deleted this and started again about 3 times to try and tone down my arseness, but hey ho. If it becomes cool to be good at spelling, then people will make the effort.

 

"If a man tells you you're a horse, punch him in the mouth. If a second man calls you a horse, swear at him. But if a third man calls you a horse, well, maybe it's time to buy a saddle."

 

 

I know it isn't that easy for some people, but I genuinely think that it is for most.

But I'm guessing you would not point it out in order to cause humiliation, which is fine in my book.

Absolutely agree Felix.

Am I right in thinking you two work together?

Only when we can put up with each other,,yes,we get a day or two a week to upset each other.

Not unless they are mates, and we have far more offensive banter than that anyway!

 

It goes both ways. I really good mate of mine studies history at oxford, but still says "innit" to me just to wind me up
