I saw a full side-of-bus ad this morning referring to 'thousand's of' something. Letters a foot high.
Should I still be appalled by incorrect English in this txt spk world? It's inevitable that language evolves and so on, but what I saw this morning was just a fucking error. If I could remember the company I'd write to them, it was pathetic.

Are you a stickler for detail or an 'oh I knew what they meant, who cares?' kind of person. Both have a point, I suppose.

(I helped save b3ta! rachelswipe with a fork, Thu 5 Sep 2013, 10:38, Reply)
I'm just wondering, given that house prices have rsien astronomically, particularly in London,
it is very likely that Monty bought his place when it was worth a fraction of what he'll get for it. But when we bought ours we were forced to a lot more. We probably could have borrowed enough to buy it on our own, but my parents offered to help us out, which was nice, so our mortgage payments are a bit lower.

We're still free from crippling debt though.

my dad had a great one when he was at the bank
his secretary sent out pp'd standard letters about increase in rates. one customer replied, so that went to him. it said thank you very much, but if it was all the same to the bank, he'd continue to pay through the nose in the usual way.

turned out the letter had gone out saying that he would be paying % "per anum" rather than "annum". a rather witty response there, i think.

What does my tits in is when I do an amazing piece of work, and someone tells me it's complete crap because they've spotted spelling mistakes.
The bit that annoyes me about that is that they're so easy to change, and generally the thing that i'm showing off is the design and the functionailty.... but because they want to feel super-smart, they pick up on something like that.

Hah, i've had to play the dyselxia card a few times, and people think i'm taking the piss at first.
I suppose I should like at it as a compliment that they wouldn't think someone who spells like I do can produce work like I do.

Your spelling mistakes generally jump up and down and wave, though.
It quite often takes me a few seconds to figure out what they mean. They're very inventive, though, and I love your blog about words.

Yeah', although i'm chatting and I come across a word that I know is wrong, i'll leave it.
where as with work, i'd change the word to something I can work out. But the trouble is, I don't always know if its wrong or not.... like saying to a colourblind person.

'dyslexia' is a term bandied around seemingly willy nilly.
There's a huge difference between proper, professionally diagnosed dyslexia and people who are just poor spellers. I'm willing to bet that a large proportion of people who claim to be dyslexic have never actually had it professionally diagnosed and merely use it as an excuse for their poor literacy.

this one's quite high up in the army now
this is a guy who left the fridge door wide open on a zillion occasions, smashed a window practising headers in his bedroom so that we got burgled that evening, lit his fags off the toaster, didn't realise what DR meant on his statement, so thought his parents were topping his account up as the amount got bigger and bigger...

the mind boggles.
