Is 'they're', 'there' and 'their' in the to/two/too hard basket? Where/wear/ware it's/its supposed to be/bee?

**Hitcher** · 16th December 2007, 13:45

Touche. Or thereabouts.

**James Deuce** · 16th December 2007, 13:48

How about "though and "thou"?

That one makes my vision red out and diced carrots shoot out of my nose.

**Hitcher** · 16th December 2007, 13:52

Acceptable only as an archaic second-person singular or as a contraction of thousand.

Agreed on the red mist though. It ranks up there with "aye" instead of "eh". Eh?

Face it, guys! Literacy, or the lack of it, is absolutely rife on here.

It would be far too much work to correct everything, so I suggest that you put all the offending words/phrases in a hat and draw out one or two on which to concentrate your efforts.

Where is the fun in that? Single out the individuals for special treatment. This place is getting far too PC

Is it just me or does "Her_B4's" signature (JOIN THE SENSIBLE SENTENCING TRUST...) seem to fit right in with this thread?

I can always console myself with the thought that thou art composed of dimensions minuscule.

We stand for real English, accurate, lucid, concise, properly punctuated and Unamericanised. Not to mention single-malt scotch, pizza and gorrrrrgeous women.
