Does anyone here speak english?

[monkeykplunk]

But I do agree with carlo...the grammatical standards around here are terrible! The post about the last stolen GTR...man, so hard to read,...

Argh!

That post about the GTR shit me to tears!

Everytime I tried to read that post, and don't ask me why I kept trying, I came away with a headache and had to walk away from the PC for 10 mins.

I get pretty lazy when it comes to proper punctuation because sometimes it's just quicker to not put it in. But usually thats just in SMS's.

But, SMS speak..... well that drives me nuts!

Especially when older people do it. Like when your Mum messages you or something. Grrrrrrr.

ANd I really don't understand the need for it on a forum, as you have an unlimited amount of space in which to type.

And if anyone even tries to say that it takes less time I'll take their SMS speak and stick it fair up their........ :kick:

I totally agree with Carlo - The standard of sentence structure and gramatical poise in some posts is close to non existant.

The use of abbreviations is atrocious and totally unnecessary. Ignorance in spelling is abhorrent and signifies a complete injustice of why my taxes go to the public education system.

Get over the gangster talk and revert back to the Queen's English - It is much more palatable.

i think the problem is that a lot of new pc's must be optioned with:

[R31Girl]

']That's rich! That has improper use of the English language in it. It's 'a lot' not 'alot'. Also, you can't say 'I'm no english professor' as that isn't the proper way to use the term.

No offence intended. Just thought I would attack the attacker! HAHA

i like you.

Dude just cause i cant spell very well and my grammer isnt that great doesnt mean i went to a public school, not that there is anything wrong with that. Its that you assume that becasue people cant spell or put together a grammatically correct sentance you think that they are dumb and went to a public school. *** man if u think that it true, get out more. Get over the steriotypes *spelling* i went to a "private catholic selective all boys" school located on the lower north shore, and im not a little stuck up rich kid. I work hard and earn my way, and mummy and daddy dont help me. Its the same the other way around, my gf went to killara high and there are so many rich kids there that mummy and daddy pay their way left right and center.

Get over the steriotype.

uppercase letter at the beginning of every letter??! lol

B-Man is De- Man!

I also feel that the standard of illiteration in this electronic tome is perhaps not quite up to the level of a prepubescent.

On the other hand, there are some whose verbosity verges on the downright painful.

Alas the prolixity overwhelms me, and thus I am forced to conclude that our mother planet is full of plebian masses.

SA is moderated to a excellent standard. If we did that on SAU we would end up with about 100 members left.

Say hello to Vodafone $500 capped plan ($79.95). Sometimes I use 165 characters and still it send, who cares when u basically have 2000 free sms/mth.

i'm on an optus business plan... 17c for 5 mins to any mobile + free time + yes weekend... not planning on changing contracts any time soon

my sms's are usually destined for malaysia, because my gf is workin over there atm, otherwise I'd just call people as I really cbf typing out sms's.

And what's public schools got to do with the quality of english? I went to a public school (Epping Boys' in NSW) and did 3U English for my HSC, and I'm pretty sure my school helped me cane many a private school english student's butt in the final exams.
