Cheryl Christie

53 mins

Oh Lord forgive me. I assume most here are English? Functional literacy? Today streams have had to be removed for bullying, name calling, speculation, etc. I am not English but there vs their and your vs you're etc goodness - makes things heavy going. Aside from Lizzy, I have learned nothing today. A couple of good opinions but otherwise a wAste of many hours of my time. I really thought I had found a great site and one where I could add value..... Not so sure today.

Cheryl Christie Sorry. The terrible syntax makes things very hard to read and understand I did say forgive me. I am not English but assume most here are. When someone says fined instead of find for example..... Or your instead of you're or you are....well reading becomes a nightmare.

Cheryl Christie Well "their" you go Danielle Ward. The word is they are or they're. For people using online translation this would prove impossible. Just so weird that English people can't write English. X

Suzanne Bosworth Tough. This isn't the New York Times, this is a group of people getting together on the net. It doesn't offend me to see words misspelled on here and words are the tools of my trade. There is no need to talk down to others for the simple errors in spelling.

Suzanne Bosworth Anyhoo, this page is about Madeleine McCann, not the vagaries of spelling. Perhaps you can agree to let it go, Cheryl and we'll do the same.

Cheryl Christie Well I am not American. I do like good grammar in any of the 5 languages I converse in. Btw I am dyspraxic and autistic so there's no excuse. AnywAy. I will try not to lose sight of why we are here - difficult as that has proven to be today.

Johannar'Nicole Thompson But, you aren't English? So what gives you the right to judge OUR grammer/languge etc.. at the end of the day.. if its understood, it shouldnt be an issue.. I find it unfair that you just go assuming 'English people can't spell English' when Danielle quite rightly pointed out there are people with Dyslexia and general reading and writing problems and in my opinion you're bringing them down because of it.
