I'm a French-Canadian and english is my second language so its not perfect yet. When I see some of the posts here I wonder if either people don't care about their english or they're just uneducated *******.

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

I'm all for proper English. French-Canadians, not so much.

That doesn't make any sense. Writing properly doesn't take more time.

Yes but we are multi national people these days, so have write to allow for recent Arrivals to understand us.

No capital 'E' for English? And you are a little hazy on the apostrophe for someone who's being so critical.

We all have different skills. I bet some of the people on here who make themselves understood without having perfect literacy can do lots of other things that you can't. So please... don't refer to people as idiots. It makes it seem like you're trying to make yourself look better. And you're not.

IsleOfWeather · 21-08-2009, 03:17 PM

There is no excuse for text speak. ffs.

eggdavid · 21-08-2009, 03:17 PM

french canadian -- frog and a yank? combined?

MargeryFan · 21-08-2009, 03:17 PM

If I had to make time to check each post was perfect I woudn't bother with forums. As long as people don't go out of their way to spell things incorrectly I think it's fine.

Text speak REALLY annoys me.

The old word spelt incorrectly isn't really anything to get your knickers in a twist about though.

Dr.Gonzo · 21-08-2009, 03:19 PM

I am in love with the last few posts. OP, pull the stick out of your arse ... sorry, I meant 'ass'. We're here to have fun and chat, not be pulled by the grammar police.

merv · 21-08-2009, 03:22 PM

Nebi, not intending to be rude honestly.
But wasn't there a vote in Canada a few year back to decide French or English? and English won.
So English should be your First language surely unless you are from Quebec maybe

GypsyGoth · 21-08-2009, 03:24 PM

I try my best, if I notice whenever I get it wrong or mess up words, I go back and edit it.

What do you mean when you say bad English.....spelling, text. The way sentences are constructed......What is sticking in your crawl enough to insult the posters......
