    its funny really, i thought this site was to do with saving money, not learning how to spell
    i wonder how many people who are all too willing to correct the spelling and grammer of others, also fail to bother reading the full terms and conditions before opening accounts, because they are too busy leading such hectic lives,promoting self importance

    Given the deliberate "mistake" by the OP who is clearly quite well educated and literate and has a very strong right arm;), I would never apologize for my go at him;)

    The spoken word differs from the written one , I posted the error in the manner which it is heard and or spoken at times , and as I heard the word used growing up.

    Shakingspeares , he used english in the common use , toying with words used incorrectly for pun.Even so far as using profanities of the time , yet is regularly used as a descriptor for well spoken language and as a target of excellence.

    With regard to my education level , should we use the schooling of today as the gauge for standard and books are not read by students and instead films used for the curriculum ....

    Perhaps "ten things I hate about you" , an adaption of the taming of the shrew , thus shows how the story is a snapshot of the peer's language , used of that time akin to that of the original subject and has evolved and perhaps bettered at least for that generation.... but then we can talk dicaprio and romeo and juliet which cancels out that argument.

    I was not having a poke at chavs , for their language is that of common english , the common person's language that wot shaekespeare dun written.Without spoken english it simply would not be here today and instead we would be speaking another alien , imported , mongrel and b a s t a r d language like english itself in its place.
    Have you tried turning it off and on again?
