Actually this goes a bit wider than Barnsley. When I was at Poly I put a poster up with "8 while 10" on it; there was only a lass from Chesterfield had any idea what it were on abart.
If I remember correctly, my mates dad wad heafmaster of Wath G.S. about that time. His name was Mr Walsh. He lived in Wath while I was living in West Melton (Winterwell Road long since demolished). Does that sound correct ?
Using "of" instead of "have" Its one that's always baffled me, because when you talk to people who write "of" instead of "have", they usually say "have" (or av/ev etc) and not "of". Why not write like that too?

But the human mind glosses over any inaccuracies in spellings and grammar and uses the shapes of the words to make sense of them. Whether you use there their or they're the reader will effectively read it with the correct intended meaning. It must be difficult for those who cannot do this and thus get hung up on the spelling. I am being irnoic by the way. Took me four attempts to spell that wrong on my phone. Their will come a time when folk won't be able to spell there they're in any way other than the correct way.
Spot on. Yesterday, the OP (Brushmeister, Chief of Grammar Police) came up with, "This forum, as wide ranging in it's scope as it is, is maybe not the best place to be arguing these issues." Wath Grammar clearly not so hot on grammar then Time for bed
