    why am I not the best person dmg24- who are you?

    You are not the best person to comment on literacy standards when yours are pretty poor. Perhaps that is what you mean - do you feel that teachers let you down?

    It does not appear to be me that is getting wound up! ;)

    If teachers are so good and worth their pay, why can nobody spell nowadays and why is English grammar taught so badly? It is a fundamental right as an English person to be taught there own language surely?

    I went to a private school until I was 12, and then to a comprehensive and then to another private school.

    I was fortunate to be around well spoken people.

    We are posting on an internet forum, people are entitled to give opinions.

    The JCP can refer you to adult literacy classes free of charge. It is never too late to learn.

    commas where blackpool saver?

    are you english?

    Notice the use of paragraphs and question marks. Capital letters also, and full stops, but never an 'and' at the beginning of a sentence- and none of this has been spell checked.

    Personally I hate the spelling police on MSE, but if you start a thread as you have done here, you are inviting everyone to rip into you
