As an ex.teacher, i am appalled at the standards (or lack of them) of spelling within this most excellent site ! if one cares to look closely at their toolbar they will see a "spellchecker" facility. It takes only seconds to use. SO USE IT ! i will now stand up against the wall to receive the many insults that come my way....you may call me a pedant if you wish ! :) :) :) :)

Will you please forgive me for my "blackboard" (I was teaching too, but not in English) or "dock-side" English. :confused:
For me everything is OK as long as I may understand it :cool:
And Salopian, I think you will not be insulted for this is a most friendly site :p
 
english

English as she is spoke!
Most of us are not touch typists on this sight:)
and put things down as we would normally speak.
I have used Spellcheck a few times and then had to proof reed:)
the message after that.
I love colloquialisms it all adds to the fun.

P.S. I can appreciate your point of view.

I too appreciate your point of view, so why do you not type i as I when using the Queen's English?
 
Hi Salopian, welcome aboard, :D but please don't forget :confused: that you need to use capitals after a fullstop! :eek: Remember the story about "glass houses and stones." :eek: :rolleyes: :eek:
:cool: :cool: :cool: JIM!!

Not really worth discussion:(
I thought this forum was about motor homes and wilding, NOT spelling:eek::D
Not the spelling that counts but the valuable input of wilding and motor home knowledge that counts:)

Hogan, after 5000 posts perhaps you should be little more understanding ! you will (perhaps) have noticed that the post is under the banner of "general chat " i find your reply slightly offensive ! :mad:
 
You said that you were expecting the insults to roll in. :p You've even mixed up the names that you have used! :D ***** is the top poster with over 5000! :eek: ***** is quite right to point out that this is a Wild Camping for Motorhomes site and it does what it says on the box and it is for our enjoyment! :cool: :rolleyes: :cool: So, enjoy what it can give to you, even with our limited inteligence! :D :D :D JIM!!

Yes this section is general chat, but it also states 'chat about aspects of motorhomes and wildcamping', but maybe you cant read that as you obviously have your head up your ass.
 
This is normally a very friendly and polite site, why argue.
I'm sure most would agree that it's the content of the posts that we sign up for, i find them very educational,for me if i can understand the post then the spelling and grammar are of no importance whatsoever.
Chill life is to short.

I'm quite happy to take constructive criticism, what i'm not happy to do is put up with a tosser like yourself who seems to think they are better educated than the rest of us on here.
 
neanderthals !

You will all be pleased that due to the somewhat limited intelligence of certain members who cannot take a little constructive criticism i will not be contributing any more posts to this forum !! :rolleyes:
 
i think the post was made in a lighthearted vain in the 1st place i do not think the is any need for rudeness on here as it has been said before by other members children and others that might find the comments offensive read these posts,we are not supposed to try and argue at the smallest thing there are many other off topics from time to time so i do not see the problem.we have lost to many members due to others rudeness./
 
I find that alternate methods of spelling helps me get a mental picture of the person writing - probably a very wrong picture, but it seems to put character behind words on a screen.

As long as I can get the meaning, I don't really care whether its Oxbridge English or real English - especially in this type of forum where people come to ask for help, and help is freely given by people whose fingers may not type as fast and as accurately as their wealth of knowledge.
