Best get the title right when complaining about grammar, Rhys  :wink:

With a single letter difference what chance have you got with people of limited intellect such as Brad who can't detect the differences between there, their and they're?

Or they do, but no one gives a dam especially when a teacher looks after 35 kids in a class room!
I find Past tense and present tense confuse people a lot french when spoken (spoke) and written (writing) text you have distinct present and past tenses!  :laugh:
 
I've always said if you b!tch you must teach! :whistle:

Grammar aside, I met a 23 year old that couldn't tell the time today - Seriously what the f**k has happened to society?

Blame the age of text speak and instant messaging! It has warped the minds of my generation and led to a belief that as long as the other person can discern what the f**k you're on about, it's fine. Also the dependence on auto-correct and word processors with their grammar and spell checking features.

And yes, I have double read this text to ensure its grammar is correct, to avoid further instigating the rage of those already fed up of the lack of basic English grammar. If I have got anything wrong, my point is highlighted further.
