Why the assumption that those who post using txt speak or bad grammer have dyslexia?
I would imagine that a very small percentage of bluemoon users are dyslexic,and the majority of posts that the OP is talking about are written by those who are either lazy writers or poorly educated,but with spell check on most browsers,you can get by without being able to spell well.
If you read my original post, I actually stated that the problem came from peoples leaning and needs skills, for numeracy and literacy,plus the lack of support due to insufficient Teachers and Tutors at National Level.
Dyslexia,is a seperate problem,but nevertheless needs addressing which it is.
My woman with some people on this Forum is their constant piss taking,with people who have learning difficulties,which in most cases is not always their problem.
Seems a shame that other don`t share my views.
As a forum we should be trying to help these poor unfortunates,by allowing them to come onto the BM Forum, without the fear of them of having the piss taken out of them,because they have literacy skills.
Ignore spellcheck at this moment in time.
My biggest concern lies with some people on this forum who are showing nothing but contempt and see that one and all should live up to their own standards ie MASSIVE EGOS because "we can speak and write concisely and having to notice these second rate citizens (how apt a name for our Club) who we don`t want to come on this forum,as they must be thick or sick if they can`t write and spell to our high expectations"
SNOBS OF THE HIGHEST ORDER and shame on some of you for belittling people with needs.
I`ve said this before and got a PM from a MOD saying I`d gone a bit too far with my response, ref this same subject.
However I will say it again, as I stand firmly on what I believe.
You sir are talking COMPLETE BOLLOCKS !!!!!!!!!!!!
I am fortunate to work with a lot of young and older people who have problems with numeracy and literacy skills and they would love to come onto a CITY FORUM,where they are treated as equals.
Unfortunately we have some complete nobs on this Forum who "look down their noses" at people,with poor learning difficulties and this subsequently gives these unfortunates "a kick in the plums"
All they want to do is get involved in any City Forum,but this is exactly the reason they feel "second class" due to constant piss taking,from other Blue fans.
Most on this Forum are very fortunate to have a reasonable education,with their individual literacy skills, being better than others.
But why castigate others, who need help and support from fans on this Forum, relating to their "poor spelling and grammar" that seems to piss one or two arrogant Blues off.
Its easy to blame the education system,but there are insufficient teachers/tutors at a National Level, to help bring down the numbers of people,young and old,who need help in literacy and also dyslexia.
GIVE `EM A BREAK BOYS AND GIRLS !!
THEY HONESTLY WOULD LOVE TO JOIN A FORUM THAT WELCOMES THEM WITH OPEN ARMS, WITHOUT FEAR OF JOINING, DUE TO THE INEVITABLE PISS TAKES AND A THREAD WHICH SERVES NO PURPOSE AT ALL.
Suprisingly, I`ve toned this down and instead used it as a tool to help raise awareness at others misfortunes,than just a slagging post from yours truly.
I have broad shoulders to take the flack on here.
Unfortunately they don`t !!!
