    I like to use ‘prolly’ as I was barracked once on here for using it.

    I found it especially pleasing that the individual who moaned about poor spelling/grammer had managed a misspelling in the title of his previous post.

    It’s never going to stop. Most people don’t even know they’re doing it. I’m learning to ignore it. Slowly.
    “Heads up.”? You cock.

    “are” is not a suitable replacement for “our” either.

    As a regular reader of the football section on the Manchester evening news site I am aware they have some shockers on a regular basis. A quick look at today’s posts revealed this:

    Similar cock-up is when folk claim to have been bought-up by their parents.

    Always gives rise to a chuckle or two…

    There’s a thread on Facebook for my old school. Quite often when someone posts on there reminiscing I think “wow, when I was at school, I remember learning some words.”

    It always strikes me that it must actually be more effort to write like this than to use actual real words.

    C’mon you Oursenal

    Works for me

    The point of writing or speaking is to communicate. Most “errors” or faux pas dont actually mean you are confused about what they mean.
    I am not sure why people get so precious about it tbh

    It’s technology isn’t it? Forcing folk to write who normally wouldn’t, don’t or can’t. Before the internet or texting, you didn’t normally get to see how illiterate a lot of folk are. 😛

    It’s not technology, it’s choice.

    Personally, I choose not to converse with illiterate gibbons.

    Personally (and I know I make my fair share of grammatical cock-ups) I find it alters context dramatically when reading various illiterate posts. It’s not that I can’t ‘decipher’ their ramblings, it simply breaks the flow of reading, for want of a better turn of phrase. In conversation it can be easily overlooked, but I find it amusing as opposed to annoying in that instance.

    Edit – to correct a cock-up, of course…

    Surely we need literate gibbons before we can have illiterate gibbons?
