Predictive text is to blame for a lot of it....my phone for instance...whenever I try to write the word 'anything' it immediately comes up with the sentence ''any sexy women up for no strings adult fun in the Dearne Valley area''....no idea why it does it.

 

Ooh I’ll have too bee on mi gard then

 

I'd argue that in this day and age, where more and more of the interactions we have with others are in written form, it's more important than ever to ensure our spelling and grammar are up to scratch. I'd also say it's easier than ever to have every post, text, and e-mail be correctly spelled and be grammatically correct, seeing as there are multiple free programs that can monitor it for you(Grammarly is a very good one if anyone is looking).

I'm not saying every post has to be 100% correct, though. Even professional writers make mistakes, especially when typing quickly.

 

It's etc, not ect!!

 

Whenever I get dragged into a debate about speling and grammer, I always double and triple check my words before submitting, to make sure I don't make an utter clown of myself.

 

Nice.

 

Yes, vastly preferable to "could of".

 

What about inappropriate '

Every time I go to Spring Green garden centre in Crofton near Wakefield, it makes my skin itch when I see their sign saying

A family run firm for 50 year's

A large selection of tree's

Check it out if you ever go there. Once you see it, you can't unsee it.

 

of an evening ..instead of
on an evening

 

Yes. Could've is a contraction of could and have.

 

What about "couldn't've?

 

Whenever I post on threads like this I usually make an utter clown of myself regardless of grammar.

 

Perhaps there was a word or words missing after each of those comments:
E.g. A large selection of tree's leaves for sale at massive discounts

 

Nope - different phrase entirely with the comma.
Your comma obviously denotes a pause which would lead to the however being the beginning of an explanation, however in Skryptic's post, the however refers to the words that precede it. (I know what grammar looks like, cos I read a lot as a kid, but I can't tell you the words which describe what each bit of a sentence are).

And the whole point of grammar is so that you can read it properly. Bad grammar leads to ambiguity.

 

I came back to my car and someone had written me a note about my ability to park a car. He signed the note, ' I DEAT'. Took a while, but I realised what I was dealing with.

 

I hate it when people are lazy with there massages.

 

"win you" is the one that annoys me more than all others to be honest.

Drives me mad.

 

Lets face it some people just haven't been learnt properly!

 

My grammar is shocking, I much preferred my grandad

 

I believe that a lot of people believe that is what they are saying. Could of, seems to be interchangeable with could have in their vocabulary. I don’t think it is merely a spelling mistake anymore…
