Please consider this while posting..

spelling and grammar are fine, I don't think anyone is perfect there - it is text speak and lazy shortening of words which are difficult for many to read and understand.

And people that write 'Alot' instead of 'A lot' It's two words, not one!!!

some may not think about every single tiny word when writing and i may put alot out of pure habit but we could pick at everyone and anyone,lol

Ignore me, I'm just sad Tracy lol!

Confession. To me as a foreigner it really is a bit weird to see how we are drilled and trained over here, year after year, to write and speak English, almost no room for errors... and then see the native speakers só 'sloppy' in their use of the language. It is not forbidden to be proud of your own language

I mean, of course there are dyslectics not able to write correctly, and those are not the people I address. But certainly it must be managable to have a bit of respect for your own language, acknowledge the beauty of it and honour it by simply trying to do it justice.

Just what I was getting at Matt.

Edit - Matt just removed his post!

Sorry - my mistake. We all make mistakes sometimes, effort is the main thing as you said Jakki.

I love Allo Allo, and found Rolines quite most amusing..... such memorable characters ...... and hilarious comedy..... !

I agree that whilst we must strive for perfection, that most of us are far from perfect in the language department. We should be more patient and understanding where people are experiencing difficulties with their literacy skills. Doubly difficult when peoples typing skills are not the best either...I include me in that!
I am in awe of contributors from overseas, who are able to post in a language that is not their own.

Just don't get me started on Blackadder.... especially Blackadder II

Well.... I don't see it happening people will learn Dutch, so there's really no other solution than learning French, German and English ourselves


But Hendy, you're right: it's not just language-skills, it's typing-skills as well. But there's a simple solution to that as well: just re-read your post before pushing that 'send' button

@ Roline: Von Klomp ruuuuuules!!!!!

I always try to double check posts, but sometimes the occasional error still makes it through, despite all the checking....
