Grammar is a different thing, that can be down to different levels of education, or even a lack of understanding of our language? Or even in a lot of cases.....autocorrect! Don't be too hard on people because they put an apostrophe in the wrong place

I ALWAYS notice when people misuse your/you're and there/their/they're, I also always notice misplaced apostrophes.

I can understand individuals getting grammar wrong, I notice it but that's the extent it goes to, I don't judge people on it, I know I was lucky to have a fantastic English teacher!

However, I am sick to my back teeth of companies getting it wrong! It's simply lazy, and it bothers me that kids look at their signs and think that's right!

Here's a little list...

PC World - Lots of TV's now available online (this was on a huge banner outside the store)
Inside the store - DVD's, CD's, Buy a second hard drive to back up you're PC
Babyliss - Goes up to 180 degree's
Tesco, Sainsbob's, Asda, every single place apparently has 1000's of something available, no you don't, you have 1000s!

As I say, I don't judge individuals on this (unless I dislike them for another reason ) so in no way am I getting at anyone on here but I'm so tired of grammatical errors on large signs, promotional material, even actual packaging, it does my head in!!!

On another note, guess whose iPad got delivered a mere 24 hours after I first reported it to Apple? :j I can't fault their customer service, it was brilliant!!

Luckily he's a good singer Sue I always find the scouse accent very 'singy' he hasn't picked up an accent but I did pick him up on that annoying thing of making the last word of your sentence higher than the rest of your words? :rotfl::rotfl: which to me, signifies a question :rotfl: oh that was an interesting conversation :cool:

Oh like Australians you mean.

Good Evening all.

Im with you there hobbit.....I can't sleep for clutter

I also think if you keep buying you will always be eating old stuff which isn't enjoyable long term....it's good getting cheap stuff but there has to be a line? I never want to be in a place where Ive bought so much I'll be sticking my tongue in everything to test for fizziness :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

You would never have any sleep in my house then
