    You missed the lack of capitalisation of "English" too.:rotfl:

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:A friend of mine just asked me a question which made me giggle, who on earth uses exact grammar and pronunciation on forums???? My answer...........Those who have nothing better to do or those who have automatic spellchecker ;)
  • There is no need for me to highlight the hilarious irony of this post Sunnyone.

    Do you really have to do the whole spell-check, grammar Nazi routine on EVERY poster that you disagree with?

    There, ive corrected it as I can't stand smugness especially double standard smugness.
    I'd rather regret the things I've done than regret the things I haven't done.

    I don't have an automatic spellchecker and I'm sure that there are other things to do that people would deem better. I happen to use correct grammar, punctuation and spelling on forums because I find it easier to read English when it is correctly written. I appreciate that some posters might not be able to spell correctly, or use grammar or punctuation properly, but poorly written posts (especially those which use text style spelling) are hard to read.

    The OU dont just do courses for people in my situation as it was put, my friend who is a stay at home mom, who's husband works full time also gets her courses paid for.

    A little background for you all to thrive on, my mother shipped me into childcare at the age of three months so forgive me for not wanting the same as I had as a child.

    My satisfaction comes at the end of the day when my children have had a great day with their mother, they are happy, and content all tucked up into their beds.

    Im guessing you all assume im one of these benefit mothers that walks around in designer gear, fobbing my kids off to anyone that will have them so i can go out with my partner and get wasted, well let me tell you you are all so wrong!
    Me and my partner have discussed this long and hard and we want our children to have what we didnt, and that is two parents around who love them dearly and if we have to live off benefits for a short while then so be it, we're doing nothing wrong, we live 25 miles away from each other and have decided that now is the time to do things right.

    I have a lot of past issues that have affected the reason why he doesn't live with me and why he has our older child, I have now dealt with that and this is why NOW were moving in together.

    Im Sorry if i have offended anyone here but i really didnt think i would have to explain myself when asking a simple question.

    Your mother didn't 'ship' you off into childcare.
    She made a decision not to sit on her rear when she was obviously capable of working.

    You have a lot of past issues and blah blah blah.

    Oh and I don't know any benefit mums wearing designer gear.
    It's all primarni and JJB's but whatever you class as designer is fine by me!

    Hmmm, I type the way I speak in general. I also use the type of grammar, punctuation, spelling that I was taught and have used all my life. No auto spellchecker here, and if I happen to make a typo? Well, deal with it :)

    Yes, there are many helpful posters on here, just not too many that will help somebody who seems to be looking to abuse systems. Separated from her 'partner' (notice she doesn't call him an ex or anything, but chooses to call him her 'partner'), has three children with him, and now that he is unemployed, they are looking to move back in together officially. That and the bloody high horse that she is on, got her the responses she received.

    I'm bursting with the desire to LOL at the irony of this one. But I shall not, not yet anyway.;)
