WHAT???
When did that silly rule get introduced??

You can lend it to me if you want but a much more secure place to lend your money to is the bank they'll take it from you and give you a small amount of interest in return...:)

3 years in uni hey..well done.

If however you'd like to borrow money they'll lend you some if you ask them.

I think a better way though is to use some of these skills you've got from 3 years in uni and get a part time job.

I'll remove my post then, shall I?

Honestly, what did you expect?
Are you really a 3rd year law student or is this a wind up?

There's not much point in carrying on with this thread as OP has removed her original post with the comment 'I did not realise I had taken an English exam'.

Which is interesting as all law degree courses that I am aware of require the applicant to produce evidence of a pass in English Language at GCSE level. I also note that she did not respond to my question about the two year course that she needs to take at an institute (which is not relevant for a career in the legal profession). And in my experience law students have plenty of access to information about funding as training/education does not stop with a law degree.

All of which makes me think that she isn't actually a law student.

Call me a cynic.....

You can lend £7,500 to me if you want.

I'm sorry, it seems I was under the mistaken impression that this was a helpful forum. Furthermore, I was not aware that any colloquialisms or improper use of the English language, used in my post, were of more importance than the actual context of the query itself!

I guess my time spent on other, friendly, forums has negatively impacted me in the sense that I often type quickly - whilst doing other things - and do not stop to think: "Oh my God, what if the Grammar Police tear me apart for improper word use.' I guess, the aforementioned time spent on other forums (where solving a persons problem is more important than an impromptu grammar lesson from those who, themselves, are not exactly perfectionists in that respect) is to blame.

Also, a contributing factor, is also that in casual day-to-day dialect I would often say: "Can I lend a pen/pencil?" which is grammatically incorrect and I know that but guess what - I say it anyway! Who cares? It's a bad habit, one undoubtedly picked up when I was younger. However, any person I know would understand what is meant and give me the pen or pencil - they would never say "Oh you mean can you borrow a pen?" I think, in the main, that's due to the fact that their head is not firmly located up their own ar*e.

Now, I've wasted time typing this reply - but you need not worry, I wont be creating another new thread on here. Today will be the last time I visit this website. I need to leave and tell my lecturer(s) who awarded me: 77, 72 and 70 respectively in my essays this year - that I do not deserve my "First" classification because I made an error in an informal forum post.

I would like to thank both Svenena and zzzLazyDaisy for a helpful website which looks interesting and to stress that this post was not aimed at them.

Just out of interest, what University are you studying at Modmedia?

I can understand someone who is supposedly intelligent to make a spelling mistake if typing quickly...but to completely get 'borrow' and 'lend' mixed up? The mind boggles...:eek:
