    When I first started posting on here I was shocked at the quality of English that a lot of posters use. I soon got used to it and just have to accept that most people are not as intelligent as me.

    But if a word, spelt incorrectly, becomes another word with a different meaning then it spoils the post altogether.

    You can guess what happened next - school sold a corner of the field adjacent to the street where developers promptly built loads of 'luxury flats' (snip) quote]

    And - another school loses playing fields - congratulations to the short-sightedness of our educators.

    I'm not up my own behind. I just think that we should seek to have high standards of written English and "lose" vs "loose" is a classic.

    And what does all this 'ramble' have to do with the house prices? Especially, the fact that they are down by £20,000 since last July?...

    What's more important - a few quid off house prices or the falling standards in education? Plus rambing is one of the things that makes this forum great. Take OP, run with it, get distracted, play around, and have some fun. Isn't that the point?

    Well, I've seen this situation many times. In the news this week a college lecturer was suggesting that we accept incorrect spelling as "new variations". The counter argument is that people should expound a bit of effort to learn how to spell things correctly. I keep forgetting how to spell necessary, so when I use the word I type it into google and it finds the correct spelling for me. ie: I know that I might be wrong, so I expound a bit of effort in an attempt to get it right.

    I struggle with spelling - it's my weak point, as I'm dyslexic. But necessary is an easy one - "one collar and two studs"

    Imagine, taking some time to do things properly and having some standards! What is he thinking of?

    He was probably one of those dorks who didn't borrow to take on massive amounts of debt with no idea how to repay it too...... :rolleyes:

    Yeah, a clear loser!
