The spelling and grammar thread

SidelineKick · May 28, 2009, 06:36:43 PM

Why do so many people on this board not know how to use words like "there", "their" and "they're"; or "to" and "too".

Are a lot of people that stupid or are they just lazy? Maybe they just don't care.

F*ck it pisses me off.

I think they are stupid SLK. Another one of my bugbears is the confusion that seems to reign over the word of e.g. I should of done that - no you thick twat, the word you should use in that context is have

I h8 spk.

ardmhachaabu · May 28, 2009, 07:14:39 PM

And another one, typically used by English people (I haven't heard any other nationality being guilty of this one yet)

'Such and such needs sorting' - no, you thick twat, what you should have said is 'Such and such needs to be sorted'

I could go on.
