Well today I cheated on OcUK - I looked at many other forums.
I was searching for a new phone so looking at forums for reviews, common faults etc.
I was shocked at the english people were using. i get annoyed on this forum when people say brought instead of bought.
Other forums it was -
loose instead of lose
fort instead of thought
"in your near" means in local to you
I could go on...
I spent more time decoding what they were writing rather than reading it. I actually thought i'd stumbled onto a foreign forum the english was so bad.
I've heard of text language ruining english, I never thought it true. People are just writing either phonetically like a 6yr old japanese girl on holiday in England, or cutting their words down till they have no meaning.
We make fun of the Americans for their stupid spellings, but from what IU've seen today it seems like we have more of a problem.
Also the "immigrants" argument. "Them lot" coming here unable to speak the language. My God people some brought up here, EDUCATED here seem to be the real problem.
Think everyone should be forced to take an english test. If they fail...burn them at the stake.
