Worse than an eight year old

I was making a point that some posts are unreadable. You have all made your views known too.

How did you all make me look stupid then, Joshh?

I have a simple guideline when reading posts on inter-net forums or reading instructions, letters any which where. If after 2 read through I can’t understand it I bin, pass, delete and move onto to something else. I don’t think I’ve moved on more than 10 times in the last 2 years so while it may be irritating it’s not, IMHO ( are abbreviations alright?), the end of the world.

PS I used the spell checker available with the google tool bar for the benefit of Breaker-one-nine. :laughing: :laughing: :smiling_imp: :smiling_imp:

I think you should name names. Well said toowise

I have been in this industry a lot of years, and in that time I have met many truck drivers who can teach both you and me a thing or too about the job, and maybe their grammar was’nt correct our their spelling top notch, to be perfectly frank some were almost aliterate. and they will still be better drivers than I can ever hope to be.

If you want perfect grammar and spelling, go to a forum for English teachers, 99.9% of the members here can type well enough to make their message understood, and thats good enough for me.

Now Text speak is a different matter, and anyone who uses text speak on a forum should be lined up against the wall and shot

My son aged 10, has autism, dyslexia and other problems and you have to adjust yourself to read his writing after reading queens english, but you get the gist after 5 seconds and it all becomes clear. On the bright side he can use a p.c. better than most a his age, so in the age of equal right’s etc , lets not discrimnate those who have difficulty in expressing themselves in writing.

Does it really matter if there are spelling and grammer mistakes? The message gets understood at the end of the day. Text speak on forums is annoying, but not as annoying as when you see on the news that students are now allowed to use it in English exams. :unamused:

Can I just say that it is not just on this forum that you see very poor spelling or grammer. It is rife throughout this country, spelling leaves a lot to be desired, it’s embarrassing how bad some spelling is these days.

Comes of slack teaching in schools I feel.
