Yes I know I should know better - I am a teacher after all.

Ah - I see. You mean the spelling of them???

Desiderata · 18/06/2008 22:05

I hope you mean the spelling of them.

You are a teacher, after all ...

Like I said, I've been drinking. There are so many people on here who talk about the independant schools their kids are in. Should be on pedants' thread I guess. Local school fees are 12k plus. For that, I'd hope ds was mixing with kids whose parents could spell independent. I only get bolshy after red wine so do feel free to ignore me. As a governor, I have seen people applying for headships with Batchelor of Education degrees. Now that's really worrying!

I'm still missing the point

TBH though I wouldn't use Mn as a good example of people's normal spelling. Many people on here just type really fast and often mistype things. I know I do very often. Doesn;t mean I don;t know how to spell really.

It's a spelling thing. That's all . Like I said, my middle class roots emerge after red wine.

Fair enough Hulababy.

Actually, what really winds me up (real life and MN) is teachers who make mistakes with its and it's.

Have seen this a lot at work recently - from the tutor reports. I have an urge to correct!
