(Prepare for a one off statement).

I agree with you Book woman..... there I said it, "should of" is one of the most annoying mis-uses of English there is.

Mr Ladbroke there is a difference between typing so fast you miss a letter and using bad grammar. Typo's are annoying but generally accepted, basic grammatical errors are not excusable.

ha - well spotted!

I wasn't having a go or anything "btw".

And S4, there is a school of thought that would say that you should check your spelling before you submit a post.

And when I was younger there were actual "schools" that taught you grammar and pupils who learnt how to use all points of speech correctly.

You know what, I use it sometimes, but only with words like 'coz'...I'm to lazy to type the whole word out, but I don't use it in..CVs and stuff, just things that aren't that...formal. Like forums and MSN.

Neither does 'back in a bit' or 'be right back'.

Of course it is.

What about medical conditions, a deprived childhood, the fact you were abused physically so missed the grammar teaching part of school, or just perhaps it is not that important, and there are more important things to "excuse" rather than saying of and not have.............

Especially when it's directed at a new forum member who was making some lively and fun contributions, and instead of having a decent chat we end up ahh well I suppose really it's rather "on track" for this thread then...

* coughs, knows he has lost the debate and that he has blown all chance of ever getting the lovely S4B between the sheets now*

That's odd, because the only times I have ever used 'lol' in a conversation (without quoting) is to be sarcastic.
