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!!

Sometimes when people have a slow connection or are using mobile phones to browse this site it can take a minute or 2 to load a page only to read some prat saying 'you have spelt that wrong' it's very annoying.
Who cares how you spell a word or what grammar was used, we are talking about football.
So lets leave the moaning about grammar and shit out and lets talk about football.

It's just an idea!
