this might be controvesial but how come the people who have joined specifically to comment on how terrible MNers are in the Madeleine / Shrek thing ...

[Twiglett]

how come they can neither spell accurately nor use the rules of English Grammar?

fuck knows twig

controvesial ?

i can't spell and my grammar sucks

cos the are so wildly excited. i imagine in rl they are all crazy hair and buttons all done up on the wrong holes.

I used to blame Mothercare, but now I blame Shrek

And India Knight, it kicked off when she was on here.

pmsl Twig

'cause there's nothing people like more than trying to start a fight.
with any luck most will piss off when this dies down.

i would just like to point out (quickly!) that my spelling is shite and my grammar is worse but i was here b4 mothercare and shrek !

Cos they're borderline illiterate - hence they can't read the threads properly to make an informed comment.

There was the same thing over on NM on the Nestle thread, people were joining just to campaign and post on the nestle related threads.

Because of their level of outrage and shock and indignancy and horror at the level of selfishness and awfulness and wrongness of MN.
Hammering at their keyboards, probably typing with an axe and a nailgun, drooling with fury, it really messes with general standards of literacy.

oh arse-bandits .. forgot my r

PMSL!

There is a frighteningly large number of illiterate, ill informed people in this country. I suspect that MN doesn't really reflect RL from that point of view since the majority of posters are intelligent, eloquent and funny. Depressingly, the rest of the world ain't.

You are so right (sadly).

~sniff~ 'probably typing with an axe' Nowt wrong with axes. I keep an axe beside my computer and my posts are wonderfully literate if not always very well typed. I'll concede the point on nailguns tho.

You two are giving me a headache.

Hmm.

Well, Ms Twiglett, I was considering deputising you given the admirable sentiments expressed in your opening post; however, the unforgivable error in your title forces me to strike you with my TypotasticTwiglettTamer
