hah youd love it over here stoo all the wee belfast rats say feeeeee instead of three makes you wana hit them such a slap round the back off the head
People who spell can't as carnt, there is no r in can't but cant is acceptable. Wondering not woundering, probably more but I just got up, and anyway this thread wont succeed in getting people to spell properly although it is worth a try.
It's not an attempt to make people spell correctly.
I'm simply airing my gripes at the distinct lack of education apparent these days!
Predominantly in the spelling sector of the curriculum.
People are too used to text speak now-a-days.
Text speak is pure laziness in its finest form.
There is alot of claims of dyslexia thrown about too when people are told to stop text typing.
Again, lazy. Just admit you were too lazy to type it all out instead of lying :)

I think kekkle is more lancashire, along with tospital
text type is used by people with budget keyboards, they're going ot break eventually, so they try and make them last as long as possible
oh and something that annoys me is round about.....its a damn roundabout lol
manchester has the thing about the th's and f's
I also know someone that can't say prelude, and calls it a prilude!
Th'ospital is just a colliquial term for lanacastrians really. Along with alot of sayings.
Fundamentally, It's still spelt correctly.
Wmnmwmwmnnwmwm AN Hero! I am impressed. Most would say a hero :)

My keyboard is a budget one, I still manage to type properly although I will admint the following keys have no or little letters printed on them: N M H T R E A S D M O
The letters are especially worn on N S A and E.

I aint willing, I can still make out most of the keys and I type without looking at the keyboard anyway so I am ok for now lol
Jon_nova1
12-09-09, 11:47 AM
more willing than the chavs, they have to go to the job centre to get thier money, and most of that goes on weed, they'll have to steal to get another keyboard!
Actually thinking about it, It's A Hero.
An is used when the succeeding word begins with a vowel or in exceptional cases H.

Freedom fighters right, but an hero might be right as its a different meaning, of when you own yourself (probably came from urban dictionary)

An is used when the succeeding word begins with a vowel or in exceptional cases H.
The usage of "an" over "a" is an odd one, most people think its down to vowels as written but its actually vowels in pronunciation.
So for example, you'd say "a hero" because the H on hero isn't silent. Compare to "hour" where the H is silent, ergo you say "an hour".
As an aside, the u on the start of "university" is pronounced as "yoo", so that uses a leading "a" instead of "an". Most people get that one wrong.

People just need to remember that brought is the past tense of bring, easily remembered because they both begin with br, simples!!!
My friend Sarah is very blond and always gets words wrong but so far I'm not bored of correcting her. Talking of bored I hate is when people use the wrong spelling of a word such as bored and board, their and there etc.
A common one down here is "I wook up" instead of "I woke up" and "I rit it" instead of "I wrote it". Oh and Martin pronounces have as hef, drives me insane!
Anyone else read their post about 500 times to make sure the spellings and punctuation are correct so as not be be ridiculed? lol

I hate people who text type. takes me so long to understand what they're actually saying.
Obviously bought/brought is one of the worst things I come across. Really don't understand why it's so hard to understand.
Also, why do people put a 'k' on the end of words like something. For example when people text type they say 'sumfink'. why is there a k in there? years ago i asked a girl the same question and she really didnt understand what I was trying to ask her, she thought these words actually had a k in them.

'Ive got new breaks for my car'.
'Hopefully i wont brake it'

Excellent thread Stoo! :) I fully agree with you. I wonder has school really changed that much since i was there? Instead of English, we now have inglish innit. I also wonder, is texting is part of the national curriculum? What the fcuk DO they learn at school nowadays?

Well my spell check didn't pick up on blond and just wrote it in a word document both ways and neither was picked up as a wrong spelling. Can it be spelt both ways? Or is one an Americanism?
Blond is american
Blonde is correct.
John, APPARENTLY kids cannot be marked down for using txt language in exams now. EVEN English !!!!!

LMFAO Stoo!! That's ridiculous! Text speak isn't even any form of the queens english!
Yeah i agree, there's far too may "americanisms" on here; (color for example). I also wish people would use fcuking punctuation!! And capital letters!
^ No, blonde is a noun whilst Blonde is an adjective; however they're often used interchangeably.
Allowing txt speak in an English exam is ridiculous tbh.
i personally despise the huge amount of apostrophes in modern life.. you cannot pass a cafe without seeing a sign for bacon roll's and market stalls use them on everything...
Brought instead of bought just ****s me right off :mad:

I don't usually rant but.....carn't... always makes me wonder, how the hell is an 'r' any good in that word. Do some english people actually pronounce it in that way? No offence to english people btw I couldn't give a flying sheite against the walls, but it makes me wonder.
I usually hate people who post up rant threads but this one is perfectly vaild lol.

Nice thread Stoowart.
Everyone is VERY quick to tell people to stop text typing, and rightly so,
but why are people allowed to put, iirc, tbh, IMO ??
Some people even seem to construct a sentance so they can fit ALL of the above in.
Just as annoying as text typing.
And more people should have this attitude, rather than simply rolling out the 'im dyslexic' card when others try to put them right, were not having a go, simply putting you right and suddenly high horses become mounted....wtf lol

Yes lol. It's sneaking in there loads lately. Can always be controlled though. Originates from seeing a funny and uttering 'LOL'

Because they're abbreviations, we gonna start clamping down on "reg" "dizzy" and "FPR" too? lol
i can see and understand why people text type in a text message,as there is a 150 character limit per message and thus costs more every text you send,i never do this as im on contract and they are included in my tariff anyway so i can send essays.But the internet pages are FREE for fukks sake! Ebay messages and forum posts are FREE so why type in that fukkspakretard language?? Another point-I can type proper sentences a hell of a lot quicker than i can in fukkspakretard and i dare say so can everyone else.

I did that once on an R/C racing forum I used to be a part of and realised I was just like the stubborn know it all newbies I didn't like lol
People that cant spell (me in that group) will try to be better, alot of people tho just cant be arsed to type/spell use grammar.

My first useage of the net was in chat rooms (picking up girls..lol) So i picked up really bad txt typing and such. Look at my first posts on Mig, i talked like a utter tw*t.

You can normally tell when someone is lazy or just bad at spelling because the person that's bad at spelling usually makes an attempt at it and if you read it it *sounds* the same, the lazy ones just sound like retards.
