Spelling and grammer

[Dean]

I went to a grammar website once - she was amazing once she took her teeth out...

No wonder why you always give me infractions, Hitcher put your teeth back in so I can lay off the heat...while you're laying something down.

Have a nice day

Actually, I've often wondered what it'd be like to be stupid. Would one be aware of it? Is it like being fat, or crippled?

Or is there just a sort of dim, pervasive bliss?

you should know, fattie.

The BDOTGNZA isn't as vigilant as it once was. But if some people find sloppiness in written English acceptable, good on them.

and if some people don't, good on them.

plus this is not written. it is typed. things have changed from 100 years ago and will continue to change. so get the fuck over it

Wow. I suspect that was really hard to do given that they don't seem to be reading from a prompter.

Ironic aint it? and yet there are people who find it a simple task on here...

[Slyer]

Here we go again with Dean this Dean that.
My spelling and grammar hadn't been as bad as the likes of others, I dont think Ive ever done full text talk on here.

You tend try to "Spruce" up your posts a lot, to the point that they don't make any sense. Reread your post.

Here is my order of priorities for a post: Coherence->Grammar->Spelling->Formatting->Punctuation

I have to say I'm one of those who have to resist wanting to correct people's spelling and grammar. There are many times I've typed rubbish (way it's typed, as well as dubious content) particularly when I'm tired.

As a general rule though, while I find it annoying constantly trying to overlook dreadful English, I understand that some people find it just too hard to correct themselves. Then again, most people don't self-correct because they're oblivious to what needs fixing....

You forgot something!!!!! Humour... this is a rather long thread... I guess you didn't read all of it... not everyone is the same... and if they were it would be a boring world... mind you proberly safer...

[Hitcher]

Interestingly, spelling and grammar threads are surprisingly popular on Kiwi Biker.

I think it's a sadomasochistic thing. Particularly when I leave my teeth in.

Thankyou PB.. maybe that was a nail I missed...the obvious side. Somethings are not obvious to others, yet still using the correct means of correcting is better than shoving it ones face. btw Happy New Year lovely, have some more riders keen to go out. Hope to catch up soon, must tell Caseye I am riding a lot better too.

Well now, you wont be the first to raise this issue on here, nor will you be the last. I actually feel myself cringe when I read some of the amazing renditions of written english that I read on here. I have almost no time for the shorthand/text type posters, that is plain insulting and should be actively excised from this forum as far as I am concerned. So, anyone that serves up a lazy poster gets my vote to keep slapping. I also support an open forum *gentle slap* reminder to others about using "UNGLAND AS IT SHULD BE USED"

But...


It it obvious that there are some members that are actually trying their best, despite being given the forum tease/lesson, and the spell check advice. While their posts are phonetic to read at best, we start to see full stops and capital letters, heaven forbid we sometimes see a comma. Hitcher waits for an apostophy with baited breath.

I used to tease Hitcher for dissing my ............

See, I learned not to do that, I use 3 now, sometimes, when it suits.

I either read it or not. I hope that the ones that use the impossible to read way of typing do actually get their advice, trouble is most of the people that might advise them wont attempt to read the crap that is posted. So serve them up for it.

We can all cock up our england. But at least it should be legible in my mind.

Lol after one gin and a wine... that sank in... I agree with improving but not the way its done...

PS I even know 3 ellipses are required... one uni paper helped with that.... 20 odd more will improve my grammer... hopefully spelling lol

Happy new year!!!

But If I posted like you guys I would be another blind following sheep, another peasent subject to todays mainstream society the forehead to "The Man's" facepalm. Spelling and Grammer how you guys want me to- how about I post what and how I want. I dont aim to meet your standards only MY own. Independant Thinking.

Duly noted, if it's not raining on Wednesday afternoonsay 5 pm at your place? perhaps we could go somewhere , the other half is also progressing well and I'm sure would enjoy a pootle out.let me know.
Grammar, spelling, diction etc, it' is all symptomatic of our education systems steady decline into, as long as you can read it, it's OK.
Those that want to, will imnprove themsleves, the others either don't know how or can't be bothered.
Not alot any of us can do for them except offer our help and support if it's asked for.
Dyslexia is a real Pain in the Bum, I still put things back to front.Books, reading and fan bloody tastic teachers saved this poor wretch from a life of no books and the English Language.
