no its people gettting lazy or just forgetting to error check on the web. It's happened for as long as i can remember, im sure it'll carry on the same

on the forums you get it all the time, IRL i've never seen anybody confuse 'of' with 'off'.

A recent conversation with a senior academic suggests otherwise. She expressed considerable frustration with the poor grammar, spelling and text speak being used in undergraduate coursework and exams...

I was merely pointing out the fact to FunkyT that I had already pointed out that little blooper before him

well like i said, i just dont see it out in the big wide world. But if your asking me how 15 year olds write their test papers, 'couldn't tell you.

You Ninja edited that after i spotted it

Hang on, I spotted that before FunkyT posted, but I made no comment about it in my earlier post. So, really, it was me who spotted it first.

You mean: don't and you're.

Also, since when were 15 year olds undergraduates? :confused:

What edit? what evidence do you have to assert your claim??

I think perhaps you have edited your reply to make my post look silly

Worser?

That word exists?

Oops, you're right. That sentence should read, 'more worse'.

My point is your argument didn't make sense.

Wrong again (not sure if you're joking), it's just 'worse'.

Why did you bold that?

You'll find that was intentional.

LOL, this is a funny thread.

People arguing over the tiniest things.

amx · 30 Aug 2006 at 10:44

Haha.
A pet hate of mine is people that use 'brought' instead of 'bought'.

Your right I was just kidding.

This is a fun thread.

'Borrow you' rather than loan annoys me
