Thanks TITAL ! I could do with someone sticking up for me today ! I feel better now

[S4B]

Tial that was not a spelling mistake it was an horrendous grammatical error. Even Chris was picking up on bad spelling on the texts this morning, why should we tolerate such things?

[TIAL]

I just think there are more important things in life to be worrying about.

[tom greeni]

Listen I'm only 14 and I'm trying my hardest to keep all my spellings and grammar correct ! There is nothing more i can do sorry, I have tried my best.

[geek]

To be completely honest as long as it makes sense I'm not to bothered. Im not that good a speller anyway so can't say too much about spelling. Does it really matter as long as everyone knows what you are saying?

[tom greeni]

Thanks a lot to all of you for sticking up for me ! I'm only new and I hope i have not come into this site and made a massive fuss all i want is to get along with every body.

[foot-loose]

Just chill, wee man... don't try and get along with everyone, that rarely works. Just sit back and have a laugh. If some of them snap, ignoring is always a good call. That said - if they give you some advice on how to improve your spelling, it can't be a bad thing.

[tom greeni]

Right ok Foot-loose I will just calm down, But it is a little annoying just making a simple comment and getting attacked for my spelling ! I think it is over now any way.

[SpaceBoy]

Anyone who is still at school and in this day and age is actually putting the effort into writing correctly and using punctuation well enough deserves a slap on the back as I know plenty of folks who can not. However, It gets a bit much though when you receive a CV written in TEXT SPEAK! I am not joking, I work for a telecommunications company and we did received a CV wrote like that, but because of nature of business the guy thought that it would be OK! How wrong can folks be!

[S4B]

I don't think that making the excuse that you're 14 is good enough. My kids are 11 and they don't make basic errors.

[foot-loose]

It's never over. Never.


*twitches*

[S4B]

It is now Foots, I'll leave him alone. Can't speak for the other pedants on the forum though.

[foot-loose]

I meant for me! I can't even write the word "your / you're" now without having to check it about a hundred times.

Thanks Bonanzoid.

I'm not having a go at you S4B but i actually find that last comment quite offensive.

end off, less finish this rant.

[Chris]

Look, without meaning to be unnecessarily harsh, you've used completely the wrong word twice in the last line you wrote. If you don't know that you have, wouldn't you want someone to explain? It's the difference between being stupid, and just appearing stupid.

He is typing better than me when i first joined.

I may have to claw my eyes out soon.

Cat you were NEVER this bad.

[tom greeni]

Right ok, I think thats me done for tonight because the longer i stay on here the more angry I'm going to get. I'm trying my hardest to do every thing right and be friends with everyone but it is obviously not working. So i will see you tomorrow when I'm less worked up.

[TIAL]

[...]you've used completely the wrong word twice in the last line you wrote. If you don't know that you have, wouldn't you want someone to explain? It's the difference between being stupid, and just appearing stupid.

It's good to have people explaining, but not in a way that makes them offended and wondering 'what's the point?' People will just get fed up and leave.

I say fair play to Tom for not being totally intimidated like I probably would have been.

[tom greeni]

Thanks TITAL for that last comment ! The only reason i came here in the first place was because I'm a massive fan on Chris Moyles and so far since i have been here i have managed to : Get loads of Chris Moyles clips
: get the clock from radio 1
: and meet some people that like Chris Moyles as much as me
I have really enjoyed my time so far.
I'm going to apologies now for the grammar mistakes ( even thought i cant find then )

[S4B]

I can! But thanks for the apology and I'll leave you in your ignorance. Without education we are nothing. I learnt loads today and I didn't complain when someone corrected me on a few facts.

[tom greeni]

I'm not disagreeing, I think people should be corrected but when someone does It in a * and arrogant manor thats is when It goes from a friendly comment to a purposeful attack on them.

[tom greeni]

Thanks Charlalottie ! I'm going now people, see you all tomorrow !

[timp]

Saying you're 11 year olds are better isn't exactly a constructive comment S4. Tom, yes you make mistakes but then I've done the basic one of your /you're the other day and even S4 has done grammatical errors on here as well so everyone makes mistakes. I still thank you for not resulting to insults or text speak and thus appearing much more mature than some of the other members on this board. Just keep up the effort, some of us appreciate it.

Think it should be 'your' there lottie :p

[timp]

You could, but that would just be pedantic.
It's I've made that mistake by the way.
