I think Zefan has caught swindonitis.

I think all the above mentioned mistakes are fairly easy and tolerable, EXCEPT: "where/were/we're"

The differences between them are so significant and it does annoy me when people get them mixed up because usually I read them as how they're spelt and it ruins the sentence from the first word, until I re-read and just realise the author doesn't know how to write English correctly.

What has happened to Zefan? He's been mega trolling recently. I reckon he has just broken up with his gf so he's unleashing the rage and hate in the form of trolling on the forums.

I think it's because he's not a mod anymore, so he's gone back to trolling & spamming just as it was before he was a mod.

One of the worst is when people type 'common' when they mean 'come on'.

"Common m8, we was only having a laff...".

Bingo! Did it ever really stop though?

In truth, I'm home alone at the moment (parents house as I've moved out of student house in Bristol) and there's **** all to do apart from be on here and exercise. I'll be gone in a few days, just fancy posting some non-serious threads and replies while I can.

It's also to do with the fact that now I can't change my mind half a second after creating a thread or making an edgy reply

Is everyone convinced that I'm not going through some sort of emotional trouble/my account has not been hijacked?

You're trying too hard.

 

[Begbie]

Grammar Nazi threads should be banned, it's nothing but spam and a re-post...

TBH there just annoying. Some of us are just illiterate get over it.

Agreed!

Shame on you Zefan!

Shame on you Zefan!

Bite me!

You never did come on MSN by the way

 

[SourChipmunk]

I think all the above mentioned mistakes are fairly easy and tolerable, EXCEPT: "where/were/we're"

"They're/there/their" as well.

 

[Heofz]

"They're/there/their" as well.

But my examples are all pronounced differently

 

[Rybo89]

You grammar whiners need to get out more, seriously!

 

[Rossmac]

I can and I will.

funnily I know that....

There is no excuse for poor grammar unless you actually have some form of illness/disability.

Stupidity and ignorance are not excuses.

The odd mistake is understandable on anyone's part, but constant mis-use of the English language is pretty much blasphemy..

Whatever... Shall I bow down to your Godliness abilities of languages?

 

[aslco]

Nothing is bad as H being pronounced HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHaiche rather than aiche.

 

[Zefan]

I love it when I point that out and people try to tell me that I'm the one getting it wrong. I just laugh

 

[Rebelius]

My eyes generally are open, and I seriously don't think I've seen this mistake. Can you link me to a post which has this dramatic error?

yes they are... if you use a dictionary...

I would rather be dead then be a red...

Funnily enough, your post shows no evidence of that.

How's that funny?
Ask me which each one means and I can tell you, ask me to read a sentence and pick out the mistakes on words that sound the same and I find it incredibly hard.

Understanding and being able to type it are two totally separate things.
