CAN ANYBDY ON THIS FORUM SPELL?!
 
'Emagration', 'immagration': WTF?!

You would have thought that after agonising over that very issue for any number of months or years people would at least be able to spell it correctly!

How do these people get in?!

Rant over.

P.S Before any wise-guy mentions the spelling of 'anybody' in the title, my wireless keyboard is screwed!

An electronic slip of the tongue, if you will!

And no, it isn't English as a second language, it is simply imbeciles who can't speak, write or, it would appear, understand the language!

You are right, of course, it just really hacks me off. Seriously, it is genuinely shocking how badly some folks write.

I am a graduate student in English and the pedant in me sometimes spills forth in public!
