What makes you think that there's an apostrophe in the word "does"?

you knew what he ment tho so what does it matter?

You need to capitalise the word you at the start of that sentence.

Also, more noticeably, WWODB's sentance doesn't make a great deal of sense.

This thread reminds me of the Student Riots/Demo last week.

One of the placards they were holding said " What about our futre". Not a very good advert for a Uni education.

I do some part time work in schools and I am amazed, nay shocked, at the spelling and grammar, even by A level students.

I don't claim to be an expert but my secondary modern education in the sixties does seem far superior to anything today.

Using so called text speak or twittering may be OK for a mobile phone when brevity is essential, but is not an acceptable form of communication when posting to the general audience.

That should put me in the Grumpy Old Men category!!

I saw that and just assumed they were being ironic, suggesting that if they couldn't get access to higher education in the future they wouldn't be able to spell future. Have I given them too much credit? :lol:
