Oh dear, your English lessons really were truncated. As a matter of
interest, is English actually your first language?

*shrug*

There were more interesting and useful things to spend time learning in school
than some **** poor plays by a dead 16th century playwrite. I gave up english
as soon as I could.

And if there are an errors in the above I don't give a flying **** not that
you can tell the difference between spelling and grammar anyway.

Perhaps your career didn't involve written communication with others? Maybe
something like busking, assuming you sing better than you write? If not,
your lack of written credibility would surely have impeded it. And your
frequent complaints about the competence of everybody around you are a
little ironic, given your own lack of competence in making those
complaints.

Many of the people who post here have an engineering background, but are
still capable of writing grammatical prose. You don't need have to have
studied English literature in order to be able to use basic English
grammar.

That's English Literature, a completely different subject.

Most people on here can do better than the repost of last resort which is
to point out typos. Thats the refuge for people like you who are desperate to
post something to get noticed but don't actually have anything to say.

We all make typos, but your mistakes are consistent and widespread. They're
a sign of ignorance, not clumsy fingers. They're so persistent that they
get in the way of reading your posts. It's like noisy static on top of a
radio broadcast. I don't even know what a "repost of last resort" means.
But I do know that I'd never have considered a CV or application form that
was written as badly as every one of your posts.

Three errors in just one sentence (not including failing to capitalise
English) -- that's good, even by your standards!

That's also ignoring the basic error that English language and
literature remain separate GCSE subjects. see

BTW, I don't know what a "playwrite" is, but if you were referring to
Shakespeare, I doubt that anyone would regard his plays as the best
way to learn modern English spelling and grammar. I share your
aversion to his plays, but that's got nothing to do with being able to
communicate adequately in the modern world.

Would *you* want a fast computer with no I/O functioning devices?
You're the analogue equivalent.

You're overstating your case. Spud's spelling and/or grammatical mistakes do
not make his posts unintelligible. I have never had any difficulty understanding
him, either now or in his previous Boltar incarnation.

If Internet fora were confined to those who have mastered syntax, spelling
and grammar, there would be little point to them.

Oh very good. 10/10 for effort, but you're still commenting about typos
regardless of what spin you put on it. Like I said , its the last resort
tangential topic for people who have nothing to add and that certainly sums
up you pretty much all of the time.

Oh I'm sorry - riposte. My spelling mistake - and I'll admit I'm not good at
spelling - but your inability to engage brain and figure it out is rather
telling.

But I do know that I'd never have considered a CV or application form that
was written as badly as every one of your posts.

I'm surprised you need CVs for toilet cleaners.

You remind me of plenty of snotty arts types who carry a superior air about
their person because they know lots of multi syllabic big words and can quote
famous authors or fire off snappy soundbites thought up by someone else, yet
as soon as any topic of a mathematical or scientific bent is broached - ie
something that requires them to actually THINK rather than just remember like
a witless parrot - they just sit there open mouthed unable to comprehend, like
the dribbling imbeciles they are.

In my day (late 90s), Shakespeare was compulsory in both English
Language and Literature. Helpfully that meant with a well chosen title,
you could submit the same essay as coursework for both subjects.
