It's to and too, or are and our that winds me up. Do schools not teach this sh!t anymore!!!???

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:

I am a teacher, does that give me permission to b!tch? :grin:

You should b!tch the most from what I can see of our schooling system! :wink:

Times tables is another black hole  :grin:

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.

Moving over to Flickr, sorry for the broken picture links!
