I know Im going to sound like grumpy old Victor Meldrew but couldnt help noticing our newest member has signed in the occupation part as a Studant !
So it must be true,that spelling is becoming less important these days in our education system?

Also no capitalization of words a current attribute to this up and coming generation. Once we got out of the caves it was all down hill from then on.

Perhaps he meant to put a gap and be Stud Ant

I teased someone about spelling and grammar and typed very very carefully for the next few days.
OF1
First sentence. Two apostrophes missing and a gap between Studant and !. A bit picky on the second one possibly.
I don't think the second sentence is grammatical. I don't think the comma should be there.
OF2
Capitalisation is spelled wrongly. The first sentence is not properly constructed.
I'm sure that someone will correct me.
(If OF1 and OF2 do not speak English as their primary language, then I apologise. They may well be American for instance.)

I'm not bad at spelling, but sadly very bad at typing. I know that Americans have spelling problems Sharen, that is why I added the last comment.
I've just read your signature Sharen. It is very useful advice.
