Stop posting on it then you losers.... Nobody asked you to. A quick search reveals that Stu has started threads such as "What does everyone do in their spare time" and "How is everyone doing?"... Inspired...

Arguably it's you who should get a life Stu.

I wouldn't say people take offence - I guess it's a case of how you want to come across really. People judge others on all sorts of things - if they take pride in their appearance, if they can "be bothered" to write correctly etc.

HeadofGrammar - maybe you should be responsible for correcting peoples mistakes on this Forum? I've left one in for you there.... just as a test....

I agree Sue. I'm not talking about the shortening of words like in text messages, or commas in the wrong place. I just mean using the incorrect version of a word. Some people don't realise they are doing it most of the time.

I've read quite a few posts on this forum, and I have to say I'm appalled by the simple grammatical errors that everyone seems to make.

"Your" instead of "you're" (you are) is one of the most popular, as is "their/there/they're". I won't even start on "it's/its"!

Come on people, you're (note the correct spelling) meant to be intelligent. I appreciate when typing quickly the occasional mistake can slip out, but some of you do it time after time.

Stu & Moomin sitting it the tree...... You love her Stu. You do.

I do agree with you Moomin - Stu needs to chill out a bit.... maybe you could help him "de-stress?"

Stu - Don't you think that's a little unfair? If English isn't your first language you're bound to make occasional mistakes. Personally, I have great admiration for those who learn a second language to a high level. I'd like to see you post on a German site ohne fehler.
