I am no way a good speller and make plenty of mistakes, not entirely my fault.
It's a little hard to learn when you get put outside the H/Masters office with a book to teach yourself, not just for english but for about 5 subjects.
So i was given the oprtion by the H/Mistress not the H/Master to leave the day i turned 15 or get expelled, not much of an option.
That was 99% for talking in class and the other i wasn't interested in school anyhow after that.
Yeah i got the cane plenty of times but that didn't do anyway in helping me.
Also my Mum couldn't afford to buy all the books i needed in high school.
What i was really getting at, try and understand how young people these days talk and spell, half the time your lucky to work out what word there trying to say, leter lone trying to spell it.
Which brings us back to text messaging on mobils which they now use on there P.C's
As i have seen it happen over time from my 5 sons, the elsest is very good and is 36 and my youngest is the worst and he is 21. It's like a completely different language. Also i am sure there are spelling mistakes in this.
The other side of the coin is that alot of girls that are here from Asia to learn english, so you would expect them not to be able to spell properly, in time most come out very good.
One comes to mind and when i first saw her she could hardly speak much English, enough to get by. Though thats why she was here to go to uni to learn English.
These days she does very well, makes a few little mistakes but has also become a very popular W/L and a very good one at that.
I know i wouldn't have a clue how to say there language let alone try to spell it, so i guess it works both ways. just an opinion. Yes i know you can get the pop up spellcheck,but can't be bothered.
I am very used to dealing with shit thrown my way, so spelling is neither here or there to me.
