There are three kinds of "there";

3. There - as in "over there"

Some simple guidelines do help, as often school was a while back and wanking at the back of class was more interesting. Maybe do a post a day to lift the general awareness, adding new aspects each time.

The iPhone uses predictive text for two words in a row and can change a " there two " to a "their too" and before you know it you look daft. As long as you get the gist if the post there's not much to worry about is their ?

There was a thing online a while ago that said that people mostly skim read and only read the first and last letters of most words so the rest can be totally jumbled and will still make sense, I read really quickly anyway and can't say I've noticed any really really bad ones, but I've not been on as much lately so maybe I've missed them

Generally, I'm not really too arsed when I get badly spelled or punctuated messages. No one is perfect and English spelling rules are complex with many irregularities. I have a degree in English and still cock things up.

However, if I need a code breaker's guide to work out what is written, I simply lose interest.

Well there are words on his profile that I've never seen in any language.

On mine it usually just chooses an incorrect variant, not an incorrectly spelled word. It only really annoys me when it won't let me change it - or when I expect it to correct a word for me but it doesn't!

I grew up on a diet of PG Wodehouse. I still remain astounded by his use of the language. As a professor, I now have to grade student papers that are truly appalling in grammar and spelling. What's worse is that these are native English speakers. I am not - I am Indian by origin.

"I grew up on a diet of PG Wodehouse. I still remain astounded by his use of the language. As a professor, I now have to grade student papers that are truly appalling in grammar and spelling. What's worse is that these are native English speakers. I am not - I am Indian by origin.

I have a similar feeling when looking at some messages here. Yes, I agree that this is not a websites hat should be a stickler for the proper use of English. However, I imagine many of the ladies here would appreciate it!

I have an A Level in English and have never been a good speller. I am informed by a teacher friend that itis to do with the teaching methods that were used when I was at school.

I would never judge anyone by their ability to spell or not spell.

How do you determine the correct place, for a comma?

The teaching methods at my school limited my ability to sculpt giant penises out of strawberry jelly.

So unfair.

"it's a sexy site get over it "Grammar & Spelling" go get a shag

I find good attention to detail and good English sexy and very poor English, and text speak, unsexy. Therefore, as it's (allegedly) a "sexy site" I see no reason to "get over it".

This is the age of instant idiocy - no one can be bothered to construct meaningful, logical, and grammatically correct sentences. I yearn for the beauty of word play, the banter, and the badinage, instead of mind-numbing text speak.

I Imagine Voluptuous Virago is wetting her pants!"

I got past that stage about 40 years ago. Still, if that's the sort of thing you enjoy imagining, you go for it.

Commas are used to separate items in a list.

They are also to separate tbe subordinate clause from the main clause in a complex sentence.

This is taught in primary schools.

At first they will, but they will probably slip back into their old ways after a week or so.

Here goes

Ahem, it has come to my attention that current grammar and spelling are slipping in the forums. I propose this thread to help get folk back on track.

I shall start:

There are three kinds of "there";

1. They're - they are

2. Their - belonging to someone

3. There - as in "over there"

sits back and waits for abuse "

I posted something similar a few months back and got dog's abuse.

Get your tin hat ready

Indeed. Those who care already make an effort to get it right. Poor English isn't a result of lack of available information on how to use it correctly.

I suppose it's like any other preference. Some don't bother. Others find it a turn off.

Couldn't agree more. We live by the same philosophy. At no point did I say that people who use poor grammar and text speak should die. I never meant to imply that at all. Simply that it is a turnoff for us. Not the worst one for sure, but a turnoff nonetheless. For us. Personally.

Surely if we could control what turns us on and what doesn't, most would choose to be turned on by that which was most readily available to them, thus bringing abundant satisfaction to all, and there would be much less moaning, to say the least.

It is important to note that we are not saying you should feel the same way we do. You have the right to not be turned off by it exactly as much as we have the right to. And we respect that.
