The standard of written English on this forum

"Oh, and as an employer I tend to reject CVs with basic spelling and bad grammar on them before proceeding any further.... that is all"

Fucking idiots on here need to learn to use 'have' instead of 'of' when necessary

Would of. Should of. Could of.

Would HAVE

Should HAVE

Could HAVE

Now I realise that I may just be another "Grumpy Old Man", however I am sick of the standard of written English on Blue Moon. I realise that some people may be dyslexic (my ex was) but there really is no excuse.

I actually picked a poster up on his spelling and some other guy jumped in saying does it matter - you understood what he was trying to say.

Well, this may sound like a tirade (and it is) but I am bloody sick of this text speak, wrong spelling and the "I just can't be bothered with the difference between there, their and they're or no, now and know" etc...

As an ex-Royal Signals Yeoman I am well used to the art of decoding messages but I really shouldn't have to do it now I have left the sodding green and trying to read posts on a forum

Rant over, thank you for consigning my ire to Cyberspace.....

Puts "Tin Hat On" and awaits comments....... ;-)

I actually don't know my theirs. Isn't they're 'they are' and 'there' is over there? Wtf is 'their' for.


Still breezed top set English though;-)

signifies ownership when assigned to a plural - "that is their (a couple's) cat" or "their (Man City) spending has reached a lot this season"

I completely agree with everything the original poster says (or is it say's)
Grammar on here it atrocious.
I do a lot of work for an Indian building company in London, and their grammar and spelling is really bad, so I deliberately reply with long complicated or words not used often just to try and confuse them

Maybe a spell check option before posting would be an idea for the people who can't spell

And I h8 txt spk as well

When standards slip then so do the attitudes to standards and then standards slip still further.

As a business owner it is quite starting how few people appreciate the importance of good spelling and grammar.

If you want to be understood fully and properly then please consider the words you use and how they are seen by others.

I wont chase people for bad spelling, as shit happens, but I do think people should be more open to learning how to spell.

Startling?........ ;)
