Quite a few have spotted it, as several posts testify.;)

Blackpool_Saver is not the one who started a thread criticising others. You are not going to get far by trying to turn this around on people.

Christ, listen to this one spout a never-ending stream of rubbish. It's gone past 11 pm and she (?) goes on and on with her petty little arguments and attempts at one-upmanship. Dmg24 is certainly wild and not meant to be tamed in her own peculiar, pathetic little way.

I'll be the first to admit that my spelling and grammar is pretty bad.

why can nobody spell nowadays = double negative

I think this is a total windup!

Generally people don't use the correct grammar on internet so its time people found more interesting things to do with their life. Don't care Ab0ut sP3llinG !

Where's the double negative? It makes perfect sense to me.

OK, things that annoy me:

The use of:

"been" instead of "being"
"an" instead of "and"
"mom" instead of "mum" or "mam"
"advise" instead of "advice"
"they was" instead of "they were"

.... and my personal pet hate:

"could of / should of" instead of "could have / should have"

Edit - Just read an ad on Freecycle "Wanted chester draws":rotfl:

I spell it "mum" but have seen it spelt "mom" on cards. So which is the correct spelling

"Mom" is an Americanism, it's "mum", "mam" or sometimes "ma" in the UK.
