Harbro's English Lesson

[Jeff]

Re: Watford 3 Leicester 3

my teacher was only telling are class the other day that older people say "exams are easier" because they are jealous of how many people achieve in exams and do well these days.

What do you expect teachers to say?

"We're not very good at teaching any more so they've made the exams easier"?

He was joking. He doesn't want to upset you.

And while you're there, whose class was he saying that too?

This is so annoying I just want to talk about the match and I end up in another English discussion, what a load of bollocks, I can't be arsed with this anymore.

The thing that pisses me off more than anything else Harbro is that you've been told numerous times about basic errors you make, but you continue to make those errors again and again. That tells me you're either incapable of learning, or you don't care. Either way, it's not going to help you when you get a job, you can't keep making mistakes and get away with it. Unless you become an MP.

Re: Watford 3 Leicester 3

Macky you said that his contract doesen't say he is a striker on it, how do you know what it says on it?

You pretend to be thick on purpose don't you? I'm sure of it.
I'll repeat it again for you, I couldn't possibly know what it does say on his contract, I know what it doesn't say on his contract.

No offence to you both what boring things to say, my teacher was only telling are class the other day that older people say "exams are easier" because they are jealous of how many people achieve in exams and do well these days.

He said that to are class did he?

Your teacher is obviously an idiot then. Why would anybody be jealous of meaningless exam results?

When you make it into the real world, you'll discover that nobody gives a flying **** what exam results you have.
What they will be interested in is what skills you have to offer. If you have limited skills in English, as you've demonstrated, you won't be much use to any employer.

Re: Watford 3 Leicester 3

Wierdly in my lunch break the other day I wandered in to the Learn Direct office next door and sat an English exam paper (they do these to help people who are out of work to improve their literacy skills) - it was a GCSE paper I sat and I gained a B... considering I sat GCSEs when they first came out, I think that tells you that the tests are piss easy when I can sit one after all these years and get a grade B with no revision

It's a real pity that you find your standards in English so disabling. If you didn't repeatedly make such basic mistakes all the time, nobody would want to talk to you about them. You could then talk about the match to your heart's content.

Oy, MK!! Notts is stuck on the M1 near J13. Can you pop some sandwiches out to him, please.

 

[muzzysgal]

My experience of education today (my children being 16 and 12) is that as long as the teacher/examiner can understand what the child is trying to say, then it's acceptable to overlook spelling mistakes and grammatical errors.

As much as I hate to see poor spelling and grammar, I can just about make out what most people are trying to say when they post on an Internet forum. However, it did take me a bit longer than usual the other day when I saw the word "yewstew". Incredibly, the poster thought that was how "used to" was written :icon_eek:

As much as I hate poor grammar and spelling, and have very strict standards when it comes to official documents at work, I also accept that you can't stop a language evolving. No-one writes or talks like Chaucer or Shakespeare any more do they.

May be in fifty years time "of" might have replaced "have" as the verb and "they're / their/ there" will have officially all merged into one. I'll probably be dead by then so it will no longer grate on me.

Give it an effing rest!

Why is everyone on here fixated with spelling and punctuation?

Seriously, its pathetic, you cant expect everyone to treat their posts the same they way they would treat a bloody exam paper.

 

[enderby fox]

Yeah i'm usually not one for getting into arguments. :icon_cool

But....

I don't really see the point in having a go at H-Dawg here. It's not an official document its an internet forum. Yes it may not be punctually correct but why should it be. It's not like you can't make out what he is saying.

Everyone does things differently. Just accept it. it's not really a bid deal is it.
