Grammatical thread is gramatically flawed

[Takahashi GTR]

Thread split from old one due to offtopicness

Cheers, admin

Plus, yeah, give the public an idea of what the reality of what they're doing.

Yeah good one, and you actually write for a news paper? Quality English you have there.

cos working as a freelance journo means your conversational english has to be flawless? scraping the bottom of the insult barrel are we?

It's the editor's job to fix up spelling / punctuation - besides, this is an internet forum, not an Oxford dictionary.

[Basti]

birds you've taken people to task before over spelling and grammar you big old hypocrite!

[Birds]

Nonsense!

The only times I'll correct people on spelling and grammar:

A. The whole passage is an absolute nightmare to read.

B. It's a formal piece of writing.

C. They're correcting people on forum spelling/grammar but make a mistakes themselves. Example:

Yeah good one, and you actually write for a news paper? Quality English you have there.

Yeah, good one. And you actually write for a newspaper? Quality English you have there.

And before anyone has a go at me for starting a sentence with a conjunction, it's widely accepted as correct grammar these days in the right context - just look at this sentence.

Back to work/trolling.

I will never accept conjunctions at the beginning of sentences. It's just not cricket. I think it is like accepting 'txt' speak in school exams.

Here's your conical hat and there's the corner!

Don't dunce me you dunce. When used in conversational writing (particularly discussion/argument/debate), it's quite acceptable. Grammar is pretty subjective these days anyway - we only have hard and fast rules for the most basic stuff.

Oh dear

Being dyslexic I have a lot of head ache trying to write something this simple, the thing that I get annoyed with is, internet worriers correcting every one when they them self can not get it right.

As pointed out already its a forum not a Oxford dictionary. Who cares as long as you can understand what is being said (clearly they can because they correct it)

Really at the end of the day when it comes too formal stuff its nobody else's concern as the only person that should have to worry about it is the original author.

Just my 2p

[bozodos]

I love correcting my GF on spelling since she's dyslexic too lolz

TBQH this forum has some of the highest standards of spelling and grammar of any I've ever posted on. Usually any mistakes on my behalf are due to laziness or tiredness or stealth mod edits.

Ok, maybe I should not have said that sparking a completely off topic discussion.

So when Jeremy Clarkson says, "Some say................, and that..............., All we know is....

This is the same use of the word and, is it not?
