Guest CLARENCE Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 2 hours ago, Phil Howe said: I love the first comment on this page; "could of," "should of," "would of!" Coupled with all the grammatical and spelling errors, the only place Andrew could have used "of" correctly, he didn't! I know that its all to late to do something about this but i do strongly think that the council should of taken in to fact that they were a number to ways to of kept the art deco building. my grandad worked there for 15 years and he would of been horified that they have pulled down a part of derby. SAVE OUR BUILDINGS BEFORE IT TO LATE!!!! The station could of been restored to its orignal state. it could of been made into a visiter centre filled with classic busses of the 1930s. Andrew Cheers Phil When, oh when, are the pedants going to STOP reading everything looking for spelling/grammar faults. It's very annoying to read through a topic, and find several people complaining about/deriding other people's spelling, etc. Please can we just concentrate on the content of contributions. We all have something useful to say, even if we can't always say it in perfect English. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is okay with minor grammatical or spelling errors, but sometimes it can be difficult to understand what the writer meant. While there are those who struggle with the written word through various conditions such as dyslexia, we owe it to others to communicate as clearly and effectively as we are able. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it seems that a lot of those who post comments on Facebook et al were the ones at the back of the English class more interested in reading a comic than paying attention. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, but what makes you think we are not all trying to do just that? I believe in giving everyone the benefit of the doubt; we can usually work what people mean. If not, then we can politely ask for clarity, without being rude to/about folk. Edited May 28, 2019 by CLARENCE spelling Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, despite missing out one word, I get what you are saying. Although why you consider being honest by saying you can't understand what someone has written is rudeness, I don't understand. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

34theletterbetweenB&D Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 This made me grin, last week while staying with family in Narth Yokshah. As we entered the kitchen on Saturday morning, our host greeted us with "Aye up, who's for full English brexit then?". 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
