grammar section

[bobtheturkey]

can i suggest a section where all the pedantic old duffers can go and discuss full stops and spelling and all that other nonsense, i admit my spelling and use of grammar is quite bad at times but i really cant be bothered correcting either one, i would find it a waste of my very talented fingers to be worrying about where a comma goes :) so off you pop you richard Whiteley's and go read the yellow pages where you can correct to your hearts content :) ps love the anorak :)

Don't you understand, it's a curse for us pedants? We cannot help ourselves, much as a person suffering from tourettes could not help themselves twitching, or an epileptic could not help having fits. Pity us, we truly can't help it. I assure you it is a burden rather than anything else, to have your eyes immediately drawn to a spelling mistake in a chunk of text, and not feel right untill it's either corrected or pointed out!

[kazza12345]

By the way I am not trying to belittle epileptics or tourettes sufferers in the above post, before someone takes offence that I am certainly not trying to give!

2nd that kazza,

........By the way you put two L's in 'until'.......

lol ☺

[dotty.]

what i don't get is why folk who have poor spelling ability(not u Bob), don't take advantage of the google spellchecker! It does the work for you. ;)

[Cobra.]

Dotty, believe it or not, I dumb down for Answerbank. I dont want to sound intelligent so dont care about spelling....and prefer to write in broad geordie

[dot.hawkes]

I'm not bothered by typos and lack of punctuation, either by accident or ignorance but what I really can't stand is this bl00dy text speak, aaaaaaarrrrrrggggghhhhh!

[littleoldme]

Wiv u dere, Loosehead :-)

Anyone can make the odd typo or put an apostrophe in the wrong place - I've even done it myself (I know, almost unbelievable, but true), but "txtspk" and its inbred relative chavspeak are not only inconsiderate to those of us who have to read them, they also makes the author seem a little bit, well, slooooooooow. I imagine them saying wiv and dat and da (instead of the) in real life - makes them sound about two years old.

Puts the odd missing comma into perspective.
