Maybe people could use this time to work out if THERE a total dick who loves to make other people feel small.
THEIR are more important things in life that being good at spelling OP.

LonelyFromCorona · 07/04/2020 11:47

I couldn't agree more OP. Pacifically what your saying about people who don't know the difference between there your and there you're!

Frankiecandle · 07/04/2020 11:47

How about no.

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe · 07/04/2020 11:48

I've reported your thread OP. I suggest you use that time to sit on the naughty step and ponder why you post like such a twat..

NotNegan · 07/04/2020 11:48

It's making sense. Thank you!

TwoMuchTwoYoung · 07/04/2020 11:50

Yes op, in fact let’s do a clap for SPAG. Let’s clap every day at 9am.
Clap clap clappity clap.

nowayhose · 07/04/2020 11:51

OP, probably best to educate yourself before having a pop at others Wink.

littlemeitslyn · 07/04/2020 11:52

Patronising, much ?

LaCerbiatta · 07/04/2020 11:52

Bought vs brought.

Frankiecandle · 07/04/2020 11:52

Lol at clap for SPAG Grin

HugeAckmansWife · 07/04/2020 11:53

Wow, some nasty posts on here. We're all just trying to pass the time. Maybe there are some people who might like to know the difference between advice and advise, practice and practise. SPaG is something that can be improved, being bad at it isn't unfixable. My cousin is poor at this and when I see it on fb etc it does make me wince. I wouldn't ever pull him up on it specifically, as that would be twattish, but if someone who struggles with it stumbles over a thread like this, then fine.

Frankiecandle · 07/04/2020 11:53

Let's all bang a pot for 'would have'

Samtsirch · 07/04/2020 11:54

And ta for learnin me that OP and you could also present a post on how to make friends and influence people
😂🤣😂

EmeraldShamrock · 07/04/2020 11:55

Delighted this thread went in the nice direction. I was going to avoid coming back as SPAG giddy threads are my sore spot I needed a peek. OP 😂🤣

PanannyPanoo · 07/04/2020 11:55

How about using this time to reflect on what is really important.

NotACleverName · 07/04/2020 11:59

Absolutely fummin at this thread, to be hones’t

notacooldad · 07/04/2020 11:59

Your post was a Facebook meme a couple of weeks ago.

motherheroic · 07/04/2020 11:59

Yawn.

LookTheOtherWayPlease · 07/04/2020 12:00

Discusting, op.

Well played. Defiantly.

Thighmageddon · 07/04/2020 12:00

Clapping for SPaG and and banging pots for the would haves.

Brilliant, just brilliant.

munchbunch12 · 07/04/2020 12:00

I didn't even realise there was a discreet/discrete distinction... what does discrete mean?

Pelleas · 07/04/2020 12:01

Thanks, but I learned those about 40 years ago.

FiveShelties · 07/04/2020 12:01

How about using it to learn how to read your threads from the perspective of others so you don't inadvertently come across as a twat when trying to appear clever?

This, absolutely this.

Allyg1185 · 07/04/2020 12:01

Oh do fuck off dear

TheOrigBrave · 07/04/2020 12:02

It's actually OK to start a sentence with And.

I get confused with affect and effect.

The others I think I'm OK with, but actually I'm more busy than usual so no grammar lessons for me right now.
