My two daughters knew how to use they're, there, their correctly from the age of 8 or 9. They are now (15 / 13) possibly even more pedantic than me about misuse. It can be done.

"...more pedantic than I..." ๐Ÿ˜‰

It might be a Burnley thing, but the simple present form of lie/ lay is spelled laid, not led.

Back to the op, whats up with being thick.?

Nothing - as long as one is willing to learn. I don't understand why anyone would be proud of it though.

This comment isn't aimed at anyone in particular: it's an observation.

Aitch and haitch. Ironically 'haitch' only seems to be used by people who think they are being slightly posh by not dropping their 'aitch'.

Affect and effect still confuse me at times.
I'm more bothered about trigonometry not being studied at gcse maths level though.

Apologies Mr Rockwell. I got the wrong end of the stick and thought you were referring to the earlier post.
