elp wiv gettin info and that for stuff that i need to no

Evening everyone.

This might sound really pretentious (and more so because I've only been on here as a member for a month or so) but as I read through a lot of the threads on here, I can't help think that a chimp with a basic grasp of computer literacy has managed to somehow contribute.

It's often a new member who needs help with one thing or another (which is fine as that is one of the main functions of this forum) but their spelling, grammar and general sentence structuring can be shocking. I understand that some people have genuine problems with this type of thing but there does appear to be quite a high frequency of it occurring and I for one feel reluctant to help someone if they can't make the effort to re read something they post on here to make sure that people who are taking up their own time to offer assistance can understand what it is that they are being asked.

I am by no means at the top of the class when it comes to English but when I read some of the stuff on here..........

Rant over.

Thanks

P.S.What does "Tin hat on" mean? I meant to ask Murdoch in another thread when he posted it but Lenny closed it down (due to poor English I think).

Why is dyslexia such a hard word to spell? Was someone taking the p*ss

Ha ha totally agree, on a similar note why is the Welsh word for "services" ( gwasanaethau) so long? A question I ask myself out loud everytime...

More on topic...A lot of people I guess don't write too often day to day and its surprising how out of practice you can become once you leave school college etc..combine that with the fact that most people use forums from phones now add to the difficulty as texting is a nightmare for fat fingers like mine.
