Can people please stop nit picking over other posters spelling mistakes, we are not all walking dictionaries and it is becoming monotonous.

It's a public service.

Shouldn't let standards slip.

You need an apostrophe after posters.

How pedantic, that is exactly the type of post I will start deleting and banning people for as its spoiling the forum and people are being deterred from posting.

Couldn't agree more wolfette, as long as we understand the point being

Wolfette, what has happened to your sence of humour?

If you think that's why people are deserting this forum, then so be it.

Punctuation and grammar is not the reason this place has gone down the crapper.

The quality issue lies solely with the appalling topics.

PS

The futile bickering too.

The art of debate has long since departed this board.

Also The users with multiple usernames is really starting to get on my nerves, there was a thread last week where the three posters were chatting and i'm sure their actually the same person ... And i get the feeling a couple more have been added by that person over the last couple of days .

Yup. Picking people up on spelling certainly isn't the reason I don't bother anymore.

I think the word you're looking for is ''sense''.

That is not the reason this forum has nose-dived.

Surely picking up on grammatical errors isn't the reason why the forum is nosediving?

instead of debating, people just get angry and call you an idiot if you have an alternate view?

Edited for accuracy. 'Poster's' needs an apostrophe. And if you ask a question, you really must use a question mark. Which of course should then be followed by a capital letter.

Surely you mean it's, you need an apostrophe when contracting two words (it is = it's)!
Honestly.

I really don't think Wolfette has her sarcasm button switched on on this topic

Neither do I - spelling and grammatical errors can lead to serious misunderstanding.
From browsing this forum over the last week due to our recent fixture the things that spoil your forum are:
1. Individuals with multiple usernames who use alter-egos to support arguments.
2. The number of people who can't accept an alternative argument to theirs exists before spouting personal insults.
3. Spelling errors.

Monotonous it maybe but I think poor spelling and grammar is laziness not a lack of knowledge; I am dyslexic but make sure I have a quick look over a post before posting it to make sure it scans. I agree with the majority above, it is the dross being posted not the spelling thereof that puts people off, myself included, not their lack of grasp of a thesurus.

Actually, I think the apostrophe should come after the 's' in 'posters' and not before it, due to it being the plural and not the singular

Yep, reckon that's right. The apostrophe belongs to the person so usually after the word, in this example poster; poster's. But as this is a plural it would sit after the final 's'. Watch me be wrong again

Is it? I always thought it was spelt with a "c".

Correcting people's spelling mistakes is pathetic, sad and a waste time if the actual post can be read, as well as infuriating people it adds nothing to a topic.... I agree that multiple user names should be banned and i also think clique's should be banned (Those sad people who back each other up when the other is struggling just because your friends) if that was the case half of the people on this thread should be banned and the forum would indeed be a better place without you.

He he!

The problem is, LFW, that too many people on this forum take things far too seriously. The running jokes (Leikvoll's profile, word of the week, Briers can't kick - that sort of thing) are what made it interesting. Listening to people blather on about Hull being a small club (for example) or people having to justifiy missing a match or eight different threads asking how many coaches are going to the next away match are less interesting. Well, they are to me and my clique. If you want a forum full of unintelligent bla bla, well you're almost there.

Well I never. You learn something new every day. Does that mean nonsence is really nonsense? What about ponce? or is it ponse?
