Like most people you're obsessed by the comma but have no idea where to use it.

Bell end.

I'm sure your dick has plenty of space, even in those small Spiderman y-fronts you wear.

But if I see a spelling mistake or grammatical error in anything deemed "professional" like a newspaper advert, restaurant menu, signage, brochure etc it makes me angry.

It never ceases to amaze me the amount of people that have good jobs that haven't grasped the English language. I always do a test before employing anyone.

Comma after first it
Comma after etc
Comma after jobs

:facepalm:

Playing into Nats' hands here.

And they're big hands.

(And surprisingly hairy for a professional type lady.)

(I'm not biting on the apostrophe.)

And where's Bonce?

Thought he'd be all over this thread.

Hope he didn't get lost on his travels last night and wind up stuck in a water hazard.......

My betes noires are (and yes, i don't have accents on my keyboard)

Could of instead of could have
Different to instead of different from
apostrophes for plurals not possessives
I agree with Nat (!), an error in a quickly posted forum entry, or email, doesn't get me going, if someone is presenting a professional advert, or cv, or document, and grammatical errors abound, I don't choose to work with that company or employ that person...having said that, most roles I have had require comms skills, I haven't hired for roles where they are of less importance, would I employ someone if they made basic grammatical errors if that didn't directly impact the role, dunno?

I couldn't really give a shit, it doesn't make me angry or anything, Harry Redknapp can't read or wright but he knows more about football than all of us put together.

We are on a football forum right?.. Just saying because it seems to have changed over the last few months.

Not moaning about it at all , just saying.

Anyway back to politics.
