Nope, not having that one ... the clue is with the exclamation mark, it would appear the author intended the quote as an interjection or qualifying statement...
if however this is not the case... I am not really that arsed

as basic (in this context) is a qualifying capacity, the capital is not required.
taaadahhhh "I disagree. Both "When will people get the difference?" and "Basic English is not that hard." are sentences in their own right. Neither is subordinate to the other in that the meaning does not change if the order of the two sentences is reversed. Now that's being really pedantic in every sense of the word. | |||

My comments are not "thoughtless" why the attack? all i did at the start was express an opinion and ask a question." Here's the thing, OP, people who start threads criticizing grammar rarely get off lightly. Some agree with you. Others think you are being pedantic for a sex site. Hence my original comment to you about using it as an additional filter for yourself, instead of writing a thread about it. Many people on here are dyslexic. Others are on their phones, with the notorious autocorrect and fat fingers. Still others are just lazy. Throw into the mix the fact that those who complain of grammar and spelling rarely have the best spelling and grammar themselves, and you begin to see the problem. -Courtney | |||

It's not so on and you've spelt status correct, however you're using it in its plural context so it should be status', just thought you'd like to know, since spelling and grammar, is obviously so important to you That was supposed to say " so on that basis" God knows how just the "and" got in there instead And I used is instead of are, see OP mistakes easily happen doesn't mean we're idiots Actually I think in this case the English pluralisation rules should apply, in which case it statuses not status. status (the Latin plural of status but pronounced more like statoos) would only be used if he had put something like 'peoples status' in which case it's a group noun. You could argue that 'people' is implied so status (with oo pronunciation) might be correct. All true so I wasn't taking it in its implied form. I'm however not claiming to have a good level of standard English, while critiquing others on the subject " And I'm just being a real pedant. | |||

"Not interested in any power struggle! your opinion is yours, you implied i claimed a guru staus, i did not! My comments are not "thoughtless" why the attack? all i did at the start was express an opinion and ask a question. Here's the thing, OP, people who start threads criticizing grammar rarely get off lightly. Some agree with you. Others think you are being pedantic for a sex site. Hence my original comment to you about using it as an additional filter for yourself, instead of writing a thread about it. Many people on here are dyslexic. Others are on their phones, with the notorious autocorrect and fat fingers. Still others are just lazy. Throw into the mix the fact that those who complain of grammar and spelling rarely have the best spelling and grammar themselves, and you begin to see the problem. -Courtney" wise words.... | |||

"Personally I think that spelling and grammar are important and people should make more of an effort into getting it right than some seem to. However, as has been said, some may have dyslexia or not have English as their first language. The main thing is to right in a manner that can be understood by those reading it. Sometimes on here that does require a little more effort than sometimes seem to be being made." Grrr. Got not got write right this time. Grrr | |||

One possibility is that most people on the site are trying to get maximum fanny for minimum effort and can't be arsed to check spelling or autocarrot as it slows shit down. If they want to do that then, fuck it - why not, it's their privilege. The best advice all night was "use it as a filter" if you have a problem with it. The debate really ended there... | |||

"Hate seeing this so much on status and profiles. When will people get the difference? basic english is not that hard! Actually, it is one of the most difficult languages due to all the rules and exceptions to those rules etc. Errr no it isn't. Russian and Chinese are much harder. Actually, spelling and syntax in Chinese is relatively easy. Though the characters and tones are a different matter. Everything about Russian is hard
But modern English is widely considered to be one of the most difficult languages to learn. Correctly, that is. It's beauty is in its adaptability.
-Courtney
Ok, agree with all of the above, so on balance Chinese is still an order of magnitude harder although some bits are simple! I'd also say Arabic is harder too and Korean is definately much harder.
In fact, all airline in the pilots in the world must speak... English. Why English? Because it's a piece of piss to learn. Any language is hard to master but frankly who gives a crap about Oxford commas"'Definitely' not 'definately'............... Hehe! | |||

If I don't know how to spell a word I will Google it. How often do you see a long post with no capital letters or any form of punctuation? I know some people can barely read or write and I would never be-little them, however if some people are not being lazy,then swingers must have a very high percentage of dyslexics... | |||
