And an 's'.

And a 'h'.

and an 'h'.

Edit: :curses:

My use of 'a' and 'an'.

Is it an 'h' or a 'h'??

And is an 's' correct?

And your point is? :rolleyes:

Just wondering if you guys correct people in the way they say something irl?

If you hear a man say "Ain't" do you correct him? or are you not quite that brave? :P

I think I might make a pot noodle :01:

Jonno :cool:

An 's'.

An 'h'.

It's all about pronunciation.

We've had this discussion, you were wrong then too.

No we never had this conversation, this is about correcting someone's spelling and grammar, nothing to do with opinion or thoughts.

Would you correct a man how did not pronounce a word correctly?

Jonno :cool:

Yes, if someone mispronounced "psychologist" I'd probably correct them. :shrug:

What's wrong with "Ain't" btw? :unsure:

You asked me if I'd correct a builder's grammar when you were wrong about those screws. We've done this before.

FFS, at least make an effort.

@Cheese....You would?.....So then have you?
What was the reaction?

I can pronounce it fine, the fact I can't spell it means fuck all really does'nt it :)

And "Ain't" is not Queens english, you keep on about proper spelling etc, then you should use proper Queens English.
It's some sort of slang/abreviation for "Am Not"

@Manker... And I proved you wrong there, you would get your head caved in, simple as that.

Jonno :cool:

I agreed with you, that I would not correct their slang as the meaning would be conveyed correctly given the context of a builders yard and the object of a screw.

So far from you proving me wrong, I skillfully demonstrated that your point was wholly irrelevant to the argument and in fact augmented my own stance.

I think most people that I correct on their pronunciation are glad of my help.

My point is I think it's pathetic the way some people have to correct people's spelling all the time, like I said to you, not everyone went/goes to university, not everyone gets the chance, certain people here use it as some sort of weapon because they can't think of a decnt reply, to mock someone for something they can't help is a sign of some form of insecurity.

I speak, spell and puntuate how I remember being taught, you got a problem with that take it up with the british education board.
And until you correct someone you don't really know in real life to their face because they pronounce something wrong I suggest you don't do it online.

Thats my opinion :)

@Cheese ...... I somehow doubt that, not in the way it's done.

I don't care how it looks, you don't know my family so how could you possibly judge whether they are "Better" as you put it, than me?

I don't care what you think, you don't know me so how could you possibly judge whether I do something or not in real life?

I was talking about online, what I see and read.

Maybe you should ask the people you correct if they are happy with it, it's not nice people correcting you all the time, it's like having a disfigurement and people starring, same priciple, no one gives a shit how clever you are. Personally if I want to be corrected I ask to be corrected "did I spell that right?" for example.

Jonno :cool:

I don't have any problem at all with pronunciation.

I have a particularly strong Welsh accent and when I first meet people it is often difficult for them to understand me unless I speak slowly.

Nothing wrong with that.

I seldom correct people for grammar and spelling on here. Unless it's Cheese or J'Pol - both of whom write better than me. I highlighted your word earlier because I wasn't 100% sure what you meant but wanted to use it in refuting your assertion.

So what's your point again?

:lol: :lol: You bloody liar, if you could'nt figure out what that word was then it's you that needs to go back to school :lol:

What else could it have been in that context *off goes manker to dictionary to find a word no one's ever heard of* :lol:

If you're going to spell things as badly as you spelt psychologist then I would expect people to pick you up on it. I get picked up on my spelling all the time here, just this morning someone had a go at me for some dire punctuation.

I don't cry about it though, thus creating an argument where there was none.

Who was it Cheese? What was the correction?
How was it said?

See it's not about simply correcting, it's about trying to make yourself look bigger, I'm afraid round my way you can be as qualified as you like but it wont do you any good cos it's experience round here that's needed.

Jonno :cool:

You spelled the word horrendously, it could have been anything.

Physiologist, Physicist, Psychedelic etc The list is actually quite long.

I'm not lying. That is why I highlighted that word.

I mentioned that you'd missed two letters out and you threw a hissy fit, typical Jonno stylee.

As for qualifications and experience I'm at a loss to understand their relevance. I'm 27, and have worked all my life until now when I have gone back to University. So you could say I have both, so I guess round your way I would be quite comfortable.

Qualifications mean fuck all in Sheringham. You heard it here first.

But in that context it could'nt have meant anything but what I meant, and you doid know cos you answered.

Cheese jumped in simply for a chance to show off his supirior education :rolleyes:

I'll make it simple for you, I......Me......Jonno, not fucking Junno, thats simply a very offensive insult and you know it, I!! do not wanna be corrected on my spelling or grammar unless I ask for it or it's done in jest like JP does etc.

I mean this place is basically turning into a "Who can type the best" forum, this is one of the reasons I said new members don't stay, they come in, get the piss taken out of them for spelling or being a n00b and they go again.

Jonno :cool:

Anyhow this conversation is boring me now.

To show that I'm actually quite prone to mistakes myself here is my English essay which I handed in recently. See if you can spot the error that is going to make me look like a prat when my tutor marks my work.

Colonial thinking is very much represented by the character of Crusoe whilst the opposing view that slavery is immoral is brought forward by the speech in the Aphra Behn passage.

!8th Century views on these issues were very different from our own so it is important to address these when discussing novels of the time. Crusoe’s actions may seem immoral to the modern reader but to Defoe and his contemporaries there is no question that he is acting rightfully.

No they don't, I'm serious, why do you think people travel and move to the city? this is a very small town with shops, pubs and a couple of garages (trained on site mechanics, not in college). and builders, and if you walk on site with a certificate you can bet it will be nailed to your lunchbox by the end of the day.

I didn't jump in to show off my education. I just noticed you'd missed off a couple of letters, light ribbing at best.

I don't need to show off, I know everyone thinks I is teh greatest.

I will look like an idiot for not checking my work. Such a simple error could have easily been avoided by proof reading. I fully recommend it.

Because I said it is. It's as simple as that really.

Ah so you are gonna look like a idiot and feel like a prat becase you made a mistake?

Then keep that in mind when you correct people's spelling and grammar :)

Simply trying to help you considering you obviously have no idea how people feel about it, if I said I was dislexic I would imagine you'd feel pretty bad, I'm not, simply bad at spelling , just trying to help you see something maybe you'd never thought of, I'm not just speaking for myself believe me.

No I'm not, you could be qualified in law or accountancy or something, would'nt do you any good round here cos there's enough to cover, can't remember the last time we had a new Barrister in town and acountants here are 10 a penny, I know several who work in the factories or shops, earn less than I do yet went to college, simply don't wanna leave their home I guess.

I dunno how big you think my town is, it's about 3 miles square and 1/2 of that is woodland and fields.

Learn to live with it, Junno.

If there is one thing that is guarenteed to perpetuate a nuance, it is by drawing attention to it. By the way, it is often considered incorrect to start a sentence with 'because' - just a little pointer there ;)

I don't kniow what a doid is, you called me it in a previous post.

If you said you were dyslexic I'd tell you to use a spell-checking program. No excuse not to really with all the programs available.

You've just blown a small jibe out of the water because it was me that made the comment.

I'm certainly not going to throw a hissy fit when my tutor comments on my use of a "!" instead of a "1".

No , I don't like it and you'll simply get abuse back for using it and rapidly lose my respect.

Simple as that.

Anyone who does call me that in my eyes has no respect for me.
