My gosh
The things people who claim to be teachers say about pupils of superior intelligence is shocking.
Look, I'm a gentle, hard working sort, I'm not a scumbag or a criminal.
Only those sort of people should be spoken about in such hysterical and callous terms.

Just listen please
Stop questioning my intelligence and I won't post any of these sorts of posts.
If you think my grammar is bad, clearly you have never seen 99% of the Facebook, Twitter or MySpace pages in existence.

Have you really seen 99% of all of the Facebook pages, Twitter feeds and MySpace sites?

You're right Bob.

Not litterally.
But almost every page I have seen that could qualify as a "typical" Facebook page is packed with content that pays no attention to grammatical standards.

litterally
sweet Jesus you are a right mong.

So what percentage have you seen?
Surely a minimum 50% view of available pages would give your argument some weight.

Here is an example of a typical Facebook status written by a typical person
"im rly lokin 4wud 2 havin my new fone :B"

That is the sort of thing almost every Facebook page I have ever seen is filled with.

Do your friends on social networks really type grammatically perfect English 100% of the time?

(, Thu 16 Jun 2011, 23:29, Reply)
In the main.
And judging by your rudimentary grasp of written English I'd expect yours are dribbling lollers.

When I used Facebook, none of my 'virtual friends' wrote like that.
So using your logic, I'd say that posts like that are in the 1%

Here is another one, less bad this time.
"OMG blue's come on the radio, my moods just risen by 110%"

What point are you trying to make here?
I'm saying that when I used Facebook, none of the people I had listed wrote like a fucking mong, you are saying that the posts you read are written by people who have days out in a Sunshine bus.

You're going to wind up spending most of your adult life in a cheap suit making the tea, getting abused by people over the phone for a living, and being treated like disposable unskilled shit by your employers.
So sit down, relax and stop taking everything so bloody seriously while you still have time to enjoy it.
(, Thu 16 Jun 2011, 23:14, Reply)
Fair enough, but unskilled?
You appear to have confused me with someone who failed their exams.
Not someone who is studying A-levels in solid subjects.
(, Thu 16 Jun 2011, 23:17, Reply)
OK then. What work skills have you learnt, or are due to learn in school?
And how are A-levels useful as professional qualifications?

Another interesting use of capital letters there.

Subjects that are useful in highly paid jobs and that are studied by fewer people than average.
Maths, Physics, etc.

Completely depends on what career you are looking for/degree you want to study.
You are talking in definites about something you know little about. STOP IT.

On the dayshift every post was "you're shit", "you're dull" or someone slagging off someone else behind their back.
Vendettas all over the place, folk running off to the mods to get other folk banned, internet rumours, allsorts - happy days.

I'm still waiting to be enlightened about how academic qualifications can be directly relevant in a professional context.

(, Thu 16 Jun 2011, 23:25, Reply)
So are you suggesting
That the majority of British employers do not value qualifications?
Are you saying that a candidate that misbehaved throughout school,who has no qualifications and quite possibly has a criminal record, can be considered equally as good a candidate as an Oxbridge graduate with a first class degree, for your run of the mill "higher than average" paid job?
(, Thu 16 Jun 2011, 23:28, Reply)
You come across as a Richard Dawkins/Joey Deacon hybrid.

(, Thu 16 Jun 2011, 23:30, Reply)
If both have little relevant or verifiable work history (which is often the case with graduates) or professional qualifications, neither have much chance of getting anywhere.
And most employers will try and form their own impression of you and just take your CV as a guideline. If there is no evidence you can do the job, a first-class Oxbridge degree will mean precisely fuck-all.

Also, there's no hurry to answer my earlier question about your work skills. Take your time.
