Make a effort when you write, its for your own good as well.

Yes the standards of English in schools is terrible these days, there are also a fair amount of non English nationals allowed on the internet nowadays, funny old thing eh? Perhaps a little tolerance should be applied.
Incidentally as English is your second language(?), I hope you don't mind me pointing out it's "an effort" not "a effort". I believe there is a similar sort of rule in French about dropping the vowel in Le and La before words beginning with vowels. The rest of your punctuation and grammar, well let's just say, it leaves a lot to be desired.
Just a bloody shame old Lizzie signed away the Commonwealth, all these jumped up Johhny foreigners telling us how to speak the old Queens English. Then there is the playstation generation drowning us in text speak and corrupting the old mother tongue.
Don't get me started on the Yanks and all those bloody Americanisms. Gas for cars, nope sorry petroleum is a liquid which you may call petrol. |
