Being popular on the beach etc.

Evening Wayne it's not fick its f***. Apparently they are going to alter words in our dictionary to make it easier to spell. How about trying to teach children how to spell in the first place.

A few I've noticed, not really bothered but it may help.

 

I went over there to have a close look at their trees.

 

I don't know if I should tell him 'No'.

 

We will try to do that. NOT we will try AND do that (the latter means you try, and then you will do it - failure not an option).

Popular is sometimes used as a nickname for poplar, due to it not being so, at least round here it is.

Let's start by saying that I am in no way trying to belittle anyone who isn't good at spelling, I'm not advocating that they should go to the Derek Zoolander school for kids who can't read good and stuff:001_smile: generally we all know what people mean, or that I am some kind of expert, if anyone saw fit to follow my posts I'm sure they could point out errors.

 

However, I see the same mistakes being made on here so frequently that I figure they must be doing the same in their quotes, job applications etc.

What we do is very physical so a lot of us don't sweat the boring paperwork stuff. But the world is increasingly orientated towards the written word.

We're all part of that and when we get tree related words wrong in documents it can count against us.

So, preparing my self for some battering I'm going to point out a few that are so clear and so easily remedied that anyone can fix them.

Not aimed at anyone in particular at all.

No 1: Poplar not Popular this is a common one, remember you won't be popular if you cut down your neighbour's poplar (in the London borough of Poplar!)

No 2: Beech not Beach, you find squirrels in the first, sunbathe on the second.

No 3: Etc not Ect one means etcetera ie. and so on, the other means electro convulsive therapy.

No 4: Aerial rescue as opposed to Ariel (or a million other permutations) this surely goes on CVs

I reemphasise (if that word exists) this is not a sneery moan.

If anyone else has others that crop up and wants to share feel free, bearing in mind it's not an assault on today's yoof or education generally.

Should that not be re-emphasise?

Shame on you, with your Grammar School education.

The Latin name is Populus, I wonder if thats anything to do with it.
