Re: Written English
Wanted to see what this thread was about, so entered into the den .....Re: Written English
I was taught to use the English language properly and will continue to do so. With regard to others, as long as I can understand what they are saying I am happy with it but I very often find that I don't understand. In that case they are at fault as they have failed to communicate their message.Re: Written English
I consider myself to be quite proficient in the spoken and written word. However, it depends on the venue. I can be quite formal in my speech and writing, but sometimes I just enjoy relaxing and using colloquialisms. Like here.. I am more apt to type as I am thinking and to use more informal speech than I would if I were preparing a dissertation or a power point presentation. Why? Are we being graded?Re: Written English
Living with a dyslexic I am used to guessing what words are as often they are so badly spelled they could be anything LOL, I am member of a forum where a lot write in text speak as they are all dyslexic and for some reason find text speak easier to write. I tend to write on forums as I speak in real life. If I were writing a letter I would write differently but here well you get what ever I am thinking in whatever form it takes. Sorry but forums are informal settings and I cannot be doing with feeling like I am sitting an exam everyday !Re: Written English

Re: Written English
I think we have to face the fact that the language is changing all the time, people of our generation have lived through more changes in technology and behaviour then any generation before us. Here's some old English text from 1,000 years ago and I bet without the translation noboby could make head nor tail of it.Re: Written English
I pride myself in being grammatically correct in everything I write, be it an important speech or a to-do list.
