    Nob is actually an appropriate term.

    The double comma is incorrect however. And one of the curse words was spelled incorrectly (although the common use of it would possibly warrant it being its own word entirely), causing it to bypass the language filter on this forum.

    You missed the incorrect spelling of "you're", and I'm sure "countdown" should start with a capital "C". And surely it should be "spell as well" instead of "spell as good"? :D

    Funnily enough I believe that helps you. You're more likely to have learnt correct spelling and grammar as an adult learning English as a foreign language, as opposed to a child in an English school which, for some bizarre reason, decided that spelling and grammar wasn't important.

    What about "Keiffer"? That's why he wanted to leave, because hardly anybody could spell his name.

    What's a 'life nob'? Is it a nob which is permanent or is it a nob which comes to life in certain circumstances? Then again is it like a life coach (except it's for a nob)? Just wondering.

    Nob relates to a wealthy person. Maybe he was assuming the person was well endowed. :)
    In the money sense. ;)

    Why can't everyone "spell as good" though? It's our language, surely we should be able to converse properly in our native tongue?

    Teacher at School used to always pull us up on that saying you’ve learned a lesson not learnt a lesson .
    Funny that I always used learned after that and not learnt ,
    Never questioned it from then till now , just shows you never stop learning .

    All languages are fluid really, and meanings of words change slowly over time and use. An obvious example is "gay". Who knows, perhaps in 50 years time it will be correct to write "I defiantly should of known that your a nob", which of course is complete and utter boll0x today. And I don't mean you of course!

    I started learning German in 1993, then in 1996 they changed loads of their spelling rules. It was a nightmare for kids in school, who discovered overnight that they couldn't spell any more. I got away with it, as a "foriner", and by now I've learnt/learned the new rules :D
