My spelling and grammar are proper s**t. Left school at 13 and started working for my brother in law sparking and told the education system I was home tutored lol.

13?!?!

How old are you Lee?

Misuse thereof.

It's not that hard to learn really, grammer etc.
Get it right, and it gives you that 'Edge' over someone else, if things are getting seriously competitive.

you can say that but unless i really think about it and continuously proof read as i go i struggle.

im better than i used to be but you won't solve the grammer issue overnight, i even had a private tutor for english lol.

seriously though i can look at a word and thing thats not right but i wouldn't be able to work it out

I'm 29. I shouldn't of left school at 13 but i did, I got home tutored 1day a week until I was 16 and done maths, English and science gcse's privately.The other 4 days a week I was grafting on a building site capping and boxing up new build flats and houses for my brother in law lol. When I turned 16 I started a proper day release apprenticeship, this gave me the advantage at college as I already had been at it for 3 years.

They're better that they used to be.

Some years ago I was preparing a quotation for a pumping station. One of the items was a borehole pumpset. The spell checker "corrected" it to brothel dumpsite. I was seriously tempted to leave it......
