I think it has trouble with the amount of 'LL's.
As well as spelling golff with 2 f's.;)

Get Firefox, you can get a spell checker installed then :)
+1 for the real-word-texters :)

Re: Spelling, Grammar and the like.
 

I don't like seeing text speak on a forum post.

If they can't be bothered to write it properly then I can't be bothered to read it.

If they're asking for help then they're unlikely to get it (from me).

If they're suggesting a rideout - I'll avoid them and or the ride.

All this and I'm only (counts from '79 quickly) 27 years old.

Re: Spelling, Grammar and the like.
 

I must admit that my spelling, punctuation etc, is bloody terrible.

I was crap and lazy at school in my younger years, what you would describe as a real pain in the ****.

Unfortunately that has no doubt had influence in my ****ness now, somehow I made it through Uni using spellcheckers etc.

So I apologise in advance, I do try.

(No doubt this post is indeed full of crap spelling etc and I would really hope that people would not judge me or avoid a ride out purely because of it, as its not like I’m an uneducated idiot, I managed to get a 1st class honours degree at uni and have a good job)

Re: Spelling, Grammar and the like.
 

I agree with graeme; just because you can't write very well, or read as good as perhaps others can do, dosn't make you "thick". A freind of mine is heavily dyslexic, but she is well on her way to an excellent degree in psychology - a course which involves a mountain of reading and writing!

And my dad has very poor grammar and spelling, yet he's one of the cleverest people I know.

I always write text messages in normal text unless its with someone I'm certain isnt dyslexic and wont find shortend words hard to read. Same reason I try my best on here to get the correct spelling and grammar, to make sure that no-one is left out

If anyone takes notice...

I feel honoured. :)

Re: Spelling, Grammar and the like.
 

:-) Still haven't finalised my arrangements yet, though I see I'm going to be there for 9:45-10:00 ... ouch! ;-)

Re: Spelling, Grammar and the like.
 

Yea, that's Luckypants getting ahead of himself.

I PM'd him yesterday to arrange when I'm going to meet him at Ruthin (9:30 btw). I also said I might be picking you up along the way if you're staying on the A5. He's obviously taken that as gospel.

Don't worry about it, just get in touch when you know & we'll sort something out.

Apologies about the derail :oops:
