For all you grammar police out there -

Although upon saying that my wife is a grandma......... so...........

 

on a forum i dont use gramatically (sp?) correct english. i cant be bothered with caps and ' or " etc.
i do try to make it understandable though. this is laziness and nothing more.
i will not use text speak, not even in a text. all this "m8" and "gr8" etc i just dont get. type the bloody word, it isnt that long!
i think it stems from people that couldnt spell and just esculated from there.
i will never moan about spelling and as long as i can follow what the thread is about, thats fine.

 

Guess you lot have seen this before?

fI yuo cna raed tihs, yuo hvae a sgtrane mnid too.

Cna yuo raed tihs? Olny 55 plepoe can.

rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at
Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno't mtaetr in waht oerdr the ltteres in a wrod
are, the olny iproamtnt tihng is taht the frsit and lsat ltteer be in the

but the wrod as a wlohe. Azanmig huh? Yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling

i'm pretty much the same as aussie bay on here, there's a rail forum i go on and they crucify you for spelling and bad grammar, so i try a bit more on there, if my posts on here are fairly good it's usually because i've just posted on there and had to try...... not using capitals is my main downfall.

 

I absolutely agree my dear fellow, let us all get in my time machine forthwith back to the Victorian era right now, however unfortunately da kidz r da future and the language evolves so it will only get worse.

 

Strange world. There are millions of people in other countries around the world who crucify our language daily. Including Americans! But the language lives on and evolves, leaving short term trends behind, and spreading so that weary travellers can sperak the mother tongue in almost any destination they go to.
A late friend of mine hailed from Pudsey (in Yorkshire) and said "You may not always know what I've said, but you ******* well always know what I meant" How true
