IF YOUR SICK OF THE PEOPLE ON HERE WHO CHECK ALL THE THREADS AND JUST PICK AND ATTACK THE POSTERS DUE TO SPELLING, GRAMMAR, SIMILAR LISTINGS OR ANY OTHER REASON THEY LIKE. ITS LIKE THATS ALL THEY DO AND PEOPLE THANK THEM FOR IT. OK NO MORE SHOUTING.

It does make my blood boil though that your trying to help others yet you get attacked by people. not just me but have seen it with lots of posts I have read. now once I log out I am not using this site again as I do not come here to be attacked in that way. some people just like to think they are so much better than us. :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

    Just a few errors there, but not bad:

    Now let's just make it read a bit better too....

    If you 're sick of the people on here who check all the threads and just pick at and attack the posters due to spelling, grammar, similar listings or any other reason they like; It's as if that's all they do and people thank them for it! Ok, no more shouting.

    What makes my blood boil is the sort of person who goes "Being bright doesn't make you a better person." It's just like the views of a school bully.

    Intelligence is a positive quality, just like politeness, honesty, kindness etc. I’m proud of my abilities, they do make me a better person. And when people try and re-define them as irrelevancies, ooh it’s so upsetting.


    Now on the topic of spelling: some people are dyslexic and struggle with writing. And that's fine. Most of us make the odd spelling mistake here and there, miss out the odd word or punctuation mark. That's fine too.
    But if you're not dyslexic, it is polite to make an effort to write in good clear English.

    I agree :beer: I am very proud of my 10 GCSE's (4 A*'s, 3 A's and 3 B's) and 4 A-levels (2 A's, 2 B's) ;) but I don't tell anyone because how do you put that into a conversation without it looking like you are boasting?

    :p;):p Did you see how I snuck that in there? :p;):p

    Ultimate pet hate -

    'I want to buy a set of draws' - when you mean 'drawers'.

    'I brought something from a shop yesterday...' - when you mean 'bought'.

    The improper use of 'their, they're or there'.

    Yes, the people who write such silly things make my blood boil :)


    Bought is to buy. Brought is to bring.

    I don't like to talk about my qualifications and abilities. But I'm proud all the same, and resent anyone who gets all "just cos they've got xyz doesn't make them better than the rest of us."

    People who cannot tell the difference between lose and loose, or advice and advise.

    On a serious note, at least some basic grammar and spelling is needed to make some posts on this forum readable!

    They're not exactly 'Atom Splitting' marks are they :)
