how did this one slip through and they give me grief *cough *cough

More than agree on that. I've been living in this country for 5 years now, and my English is far from what language testers call "native speaker", but at least I try.Mr Footlong wrote:Dude, I am 34, hardly ancient just yet. While I am less vocal about it (partly because I typo sometimes when my fingers hit the wrong keys due to punching the keys and having Gibbon hands) but to a lesser extent than some, I totally agree about grammar, spelling and punctuation I am afraid.
While I am half West Indian, which means I can talk in utter gibberish if needed, I always try my best to keep my Queen's English in check (not something I specialised in at school at all) as otherwise it will just be something else that is going down the toilet in English (or should I say Engrish?) society.
Even now I am sure grammatical layout of this message is wrong but it doesn't take much to try at least
My biggest bugbear is how LIKE has wormed in to almost everything that everybody in this country says. Pretty sure it came from Yankland and it is utterly unforgivable in my book. I spent most of my holiday last month wanting to punch total strangers in the face repeatedly. It even got to the point where I was in the restaurant parroting people every time they said like. Made my blood boil.
Flame away but there you go

Not sure what your point is. I didn't see that guy get many answers to his question. There have been a couple of posts that were so bad I diddent (sic) even reply to them. I only replied to *that* one to take the piss. I could have answered his question in half a second if he had bothered to write properly.RS6JJL wrote: clearly the spelling and grammar police, who both posted in this thread, need hitting over the head with a dictionary

Couldn't agree more. One thing that gets me the most (after LIKE) is people that don't say "excuse me" for instance, most of which are half my size when trying to barge past me. When I inform them of how rude and pathetic they are they just look at me like I am off my meds or on the rare occasion will actually apologize due to me possibly terrifying them by barking. Thinking about it, it wasn't just my holiday where I wanted to punch complete strangers in the face for lack of basic manners, it is almost a daily occurance.Shoppinit wrote:It's like saying please and thank you. Some might think that, like punctuation, they can be omitted and still have the same effect. Maybe some of you agree that politeness has no place in society any more, in which case I wish you the best of luck (actually I don't, I hope that you all face-plant), as far as I am concerned if someone doesn't display common courtesy then they had better not expect anything from me.
