    On another grammar note, anyone seen the burger van at Homebase?

    Johns Snaxs. Surely John's Snax would work better

    What is it with people who cant spell these days anyway? Fair enough my grammar isn't up to much but at least I try and spell everything correctly and if not correctly it's in a form that can be understood (phone/fone, school/skool etc). Is it just me or do you have to ask people to text you again on your phone or messenger service just to understand what the other person is trying to say?

    Well so long as it works that's all that matters then, it doesn't matter one bit that it isn't grammatically correct, all that matters is that people know what you mean.

    Same goes for everyone else I reckon, I mean we wouldn't want a forum where the less well educated or mildly dyslexic were made to feel inferior now would we?

    Never mind his spelling and punctuation. Can he cook?

    Saveman, three (no more, no less) dots at the end of a sentence is not "overuse of fullstops", it's an ellipsis. It means you're leaving something unsaid, or there's more to come.

    You know what this is really starting to grate on me!

    Jeid, who died and made you the king of spelling and punctuation?
    As long as i can read what someone has written thats all that matters to me, i certainly will not be losing sleep over some missing punctuation or spelling mistakes. I'm sorry to say but if having a go about peoples spelling and punctuation is all you can go on about you need to get a life .

    Bad grammar is either another mans creative english or the halitosis of the internet.

    well I call him the nazi

    not everyone is blessed with perfect english but when it's like trying to decode some strange text from another land I sometimes don't even bother looking past the 1st sentence

    it's. like CHEUCHTUR said. knowing wh.ere to. put the puncutaion. can be handy...,,.sometimes.

    reminds of readin' a paper going down gorgy in a corporation bus reading that
