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.

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. :roll: :roll:

(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.
