You can be drunk and I'll be fatty. I'll pick up some Fray Bentos pies to beef up.

I was gonna say that...but it should be parents' anyway! Can I have the badge now?

I already qualified for the fatty bit - at least now I have an excuse to open a bottle of wine

It's mine and Dreamy's, so no!

No, you just want to be a flasher too.

He's not even wearing clothes in his pic... the flasher!

Apologies to all. Circumstances demanded the "full swear" for maximum effect. It will almost definitely never happen again.

I'll forgive you

I didn't say they are stupid. I said "proud of the fact they appear stupid". If someone is just mashing the keyboard, they appear stupid. Someone who states "I dunno nuffin, lol", appears to be proud of their lack of education.
If someone was speaking to me in a group (and that's what a forum is an on-line version of) and was using "pacific" and "haitch" I would pick them up on it, as they would appear stupid.
No, I would hope the person would realise they made a mistake.
Then the person would realise that it makes understanding them difficult, meaning that their point/question might not be understood.
They would then follow on to assume the easier they made themselves more easily understood, the more likely people would be to offer assistance.

I have no problem with the occasional typo, or the occasional rogue apostrophe. What I do have an issue with is people who appear to use their forehead to type and don't care.

I am an awful speller. I *just* passed my highschool English with a lot of hard work and assistance from tutors. I therefore think, if I can spend an extra few seconds checking my posts to make sure they are readable and I've got my point across, why can't others?
The worst offence for me is lack of sentences/paragraphs. If I open a thread and the first post is a whole page of text, with no breaks. I just close it again.

I (and many others) just don't reply to questions where I can't understand the post. Therefore the poster is missing out on valuable (to them) information which they would have recieved if they'd posted properly.

some people have to watch everything they write and spell for a living. On here we're not paid to write or spell correctly so why bother.I say nick off to anyone who thinks they are more edumacated cos of it

yous is the stupid one for spening time doing it write - innit

You should use the spell checker.
It's ejaculated.

The spellchecker has ejaculated? Get the cleaners in quick

Probably because it makes you come across as a bit of a numpty?
