Glenlivet Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 I taught English for 9 years in Poland, Italy, Czech and Spain. My pre intermediate students would have spelt this short ad correctly. IMHO this was written by an illiterate British person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

team tractor Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 What amazes me is all phones have a spell check and 99% of computers. Predictive text is a superb thing. I'll add that I'm far from clever but still managed an E in English lol. I also managed an F for French . Well I got the first letters right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It helps me right awl stiles two reed, And aides me when eye rime. Each frays come posed up on my screen Eye trussed too bee a joule. The checker pours o'er every word To cheque sum spelling rule. Bee fore a veiling checker's Hour spelling mite decline, And if we're lacks oar have a laps, We wood bee maid too wine. Butt now bee cause my spelling Is checked with such grate flare, Their are know fault's with in my cite, Of nun eye am a wear. Now spelling does knot phase me, It does knot bring a tier.

Doc Holliday Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 They writer of the ad is definitely English as they give the shoe size in UK and not European size. Grammar and puntuation really are very important as it allows people.to read without any ambiguity what.yiu want to say and it also reflects on you as person as to whether you can actually be bothered to have a basic understanding of your own language. I fi d to fascinating. I did see a peom the other day which was very clever. I'll see if I can dig it out and post it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In most of the languages I know (Polish,Italian, Hungarian, Spanish etc) spelling follows pronunciation. French is the exception (why is that not surprising?). Spell checkers don't work with context, only a correct word. Homophones are therefore 'tricky'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
