rtbiscuit Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 i best keep quiet as i'm sure i'm a prime candidate for this; my grammer and punctuation is very poor. partly due to dyslexia, but i do try. i don't like txt speak either, and although i'm not brilliant with the written language i still have pedantic moments. when speaking students who use the term "goes" instead of "said" e.g. i was talking to my mate when he goes "oh whats occuring" should be i was talking to my mate when he said "oh whats occuring" i often ask students "where did they go" it confuses the hell out of them.

Husky Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 im sure i make the odd mistake hear and thier, i apologize, its cos i figured it aint a proper leter or nuthin. Oh chaps, what diabolical massacre some of us make of our English language. When accused of such crimes from time to time one must confess his guilt. The use of an item of the "cos" nature is unacceptable and consider this ones apology. In defence of shortened language the use of proper English grammar, sentence structure and spelling on a forum is somewhat tedious. However one refuses to condone such behaviour as this so called "text speak". It is a degeneration of the language to a level incomprehensible by any but the most mentally defective. Full and correct language via text is also used by oneself, for this reason a qwerty keyboard is an essential tool in the prevention of repetitive strain injuries. big up da englandish my bruvas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a bit of fun really Danny ...a place, for those who want to, to vent a bit of anger about the deterioration of English grammar and punctuation in modern society. Whilst I don't think it's fair or right to quote and make fun of people on threads that are about something else, I am happy to have a place where I can discuss a topic like this in general terms, and hopefully not embarrass or be rude to anyone in particular.
