    Even if you are teaching computer science, you should be able to spell and use grammar correctly.

    All well and good. And i know for a fact i routinely make grammatical errors.

    But ask yourself this.. Looking at the original post would you want that person to be educating your child ? ......

    You are extremely rude and discredit Martins web-site.
    Perhaps you should take some lessons in manners.

    Please point out how and where I have been extremely rude?
  • Good grief. Please shut up about the grammar and let this thread get back on topic. Or die peacefully.

    Either is fine, at this point.

    I'm contemplating the tomb....:eek:

    I'm still concerned though about the OP's application for a teaching post, or indeed any other kind of post - if he writes that he's looking for a new "roll" he might be misinterpreted....:)

    Honestly... I know you no doubt think it's a bit of harmless fun and banter - but continuing to take silly pot-shots at the OP is actually coming across a little borderline trollish at this point. Let it go.

    I find it sad, that he has asked a question and he gets the mickey taken out of him because of his grammar.

    He is obviously very bright as he has just got a degree and a job.

    Having a dyslexic son who can't spell or put a sentence together without grammar mistakes isn't funny. However he has got all A,s in his maths and chemistry A levels .

    Can't answer your original question OP but good luck.
