Those arn't grammatical errors, they're spelling mistakes. Apparently you
don't know the difference between spelling and grammer. Perhaps you should
take remedial English lessons yourself?

Apostrophe errors are grammar, not spelling.

Nope. Missing it out in a contraction is a spelling mistake, not grammar since
the grammar doesn't change without it as there is no version of "it's" without
an apostrophe.

Even there was , you still goofed on 2 out of 3. Back to school for the pair

A nice illustration of the depth of your ignorance. "it's" with an
apostrophe is always and without exception a shortened "it is". "its"
without an apostrophe is a possessive pronoun, like his and her, as in
"the dog retreated to its kennel".

Apostrophes are used for contractions like "it's" and "you're" and
"can't".

Apostrophes are also used for the possessive form of nouns like "the
cat's whiskers" and "the dog's breakfast" and "the dogs' breakfasts"
(and moves depending whether the owning noun is singular or plural and
whether the plural does or does not end in "s").

Apostrophes are not correct in non-possessive plurals, though using them
there is now a very common mistake.

Also,

Even there was ,

are not spelling mistakes, Whether they are grammar errors or not might
be debatable, but they are definitely errors.

Oh dear, your English lessons really were truncated. As a matter of

*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.

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.

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.
