Right, I've put up with it too long now and it's starting to drive me up the wall.

Feel free to add more

I could add alot, but can't allot alot of time to doing so.

Must admit i am terrible at spelling and grammar but i am majorly Dyslexic so i struggle with simple things like the above. Sorry

Are you a grammar nazi or just alt-write?

Have course you do...

(This is a joke, but one that highlights just how wrong "would of" is)

Most have the thyme won thing two remember is does watt is written make sense?!

I must admit my eyes tend to be drawn to spelling errors like a moth to a flame, though it's not too important in posts, if the meaning is clear. I detest posts full of, 'txt spk', though and I really can't be bothered trying to decode most of them. Fortunately we don't get many.

I can't do with it in books though, and rarely read them these days due to all the inappropriate 'z's littering the pages. Newspapers don't do it, so why do the people who print books? Maybe the papers haven't been Americanized.

You might think it shouldn't matter that much when whole swathes of the population think "alot" is an actual word, but it does.

It's "put up with it FOR too long"

Tsk

I get continually annoyed by people using 'RFL' instead of 'bunch of idiots'.

A project director at work delights me by saying pacifically instead of specifically. My warm feelings toward them is only enhanced by their gigantic salary.

Ooh yeah that gets me too.

I thnk bad gramma is discusting. Peeple shud ov learned it rite in skool. Its no wonder dis ry is goin to the dog's.

The dog's what? The dog's what???????

Happily, HR turn a blind eye to bullying under those circumstances. And rightly so.

Exactly!

Where did the dog come from? I thought it was all to do with a panda?

Can we also add posters referring to themselves in the 3rd person as a major hate?

They're my favourite thing about Leigh.

Careful, Charlie knows!

Happy 2K17

Did you know you can never run through a campsite? You can only “ran" through, because it is past tents.

What did happen to "Hi There I'm Ken from Widnes" The well known human spellchecker.

Maybe he dyed.

(Joke!)
