    Why not join a class where spelling is taught.

    I am not taking the mick, only stating a fact. Looking at many of the topics posted on the org. it is obvious that spelling, punctuation and grammar are no longer taught in our schools. In bygone days education in Scotland and Caithness in particular was the envy of many a country throughout the world but our education is now lagging well behind other countries. This could be contributed to our education system forever being tampered with by Governments and so called "experts". Hopefully common sense will prevail and we can once again achieve an education system to be proud of.

    I think you need a hobbie to take the attraction away from other peoples punctuation and spelling. Heard of paragraphs?

    Anyway i like cooking, drawing and then eating the food i cooked whilst admirning my drawings. Haha.

    If you are into more "extreme" sports then why not try white water rafting. I used to enjoy rock climbing and absailing back in my younger days.
    I SWORE ON ONE THREAD!

    I agree that some people may have dyslexia but not everyone on the org. posting their comments (which can sometimes have numerous spelling errors) suffer from that condition. Some people use text-speak. What is taught in schools nowadays? The three R's appear to have fallen by the wayside -- some children are not even able to read and write when they go to high school -- in this day and age there must surely be a failing somewhere.
    One thing I am not short of is hobbies -- the problem is finding time to do justice to them all.

    Sharona, pay no heed to those that pick holes in spelling or grammar. As one can tell from Trix's many posts, there is a huge wealth in regional variations and dialects... and they all help to enrich our lives.

    Going BACK to the topic of hobbies - my main one is fishing (it can be very restful, being at one with nature), but I also indulge in photography (there are many on the org who will help) and cooking - mostly Indian and Mexican dishes. I also have an allotment and grow a wide range of veggies - it doesn't have to take a huge amount of time.

    Hope you find something from all the suggestions that have been made.
