To be fair, the theme of the topic is the misuse of English. Not so long ago someone started a topic complaining about grammar and spelling pedants. That one flew from page one. It was a hoot. No one was safe.

It is ill-mannered to correct a person's use of English without listening to what they're trying to say. There's nothing clever about mockery; but at the same time there's nothing wrong in trying to maintain a minimum standard. If we continually debase language to accomodate the lowest common denominator we'll eventually be speaking in grunts. Don't take it to heart.

What I don't like to see is two people who cannot agree on a subject resorting to insulting each other by picking holes in their posts. That's like children who won't share their toys. You feel like banging their heads together and it happens too often.

Some grammar and spelling on here is so bad its brilliant. It gets particularly entertaining from about 11 pm onwards on friday and saturday nights. :drinks:
