QUOTE (Andy @ Jun 30 2009, 12:23 AM) Wispa - Do you think you could possible write in English, as reading this is pretty painful. Try using the spellchecker (the ABC tickbox on the top right when composing) if you find it difficult to do yourself. I think to be fair there are a lot of people on here who do have problems communicating their thoughts into the written word. I agree with you about spellcheckers, however, that doesn’t help when there are many different ways to say a word and even spell it.

Have you read the post in question?
It's not a simple spelling mistake. The whole post is very poorly written with minimal punctuation, embarrassingly bad grammar and full of 'txt spk'. It is very difficult to read and understand in one go. I took 4 attempts before giving up.
OK, my written and oral English isn't perfect but that post was appalling. Yes i read the original post and understood it ok. I just dont see why it always comes up on this forum (previously your views) and matters to people so much.

QUOTE (AmieB @ Jun 30 2009, 09:32 AM) Oh no, not this spelling crap again. So boring......... Sometimes im rushing when i write and make mistakes, other times I just cant be bothered to recheck my post. Does it matter that much? You have more time on your hands if you go around checking peoples spelling To be honest we all make mistakes; my problem is I don't always check them properly. But we shouldn't be judging the way one writes, but what they say.

Wispa you seem to have a misunderstanding of Greenham Common, there certainly is land at Greenham Common you could use but, all the land associated with Greenham is owned by someone, either the trust or by the company's operating up there. So if you want to go there by all means apply to rent or buy one of these areas?
That's the trouble with you boy racers you see an empty bit of concrete and think it's your right to drive on it. The only conceivable way that you can drive around in circles with smoking tyres until your heart is content is to buy the land to do it on....good luck with that one.
Until then I suspect you will stick to the public road so the police can carry on harrasing you.

QUOTE (Strafin @ Jun 30 2009, 11:11 AM) AimeeB, Se eu escrevo aqui inteiramente no português, a seguir ninguém está indo realmente compreendê-lo tão bem. Não é sobre a soletração que é sobre a compreensão. Os erros de soletração menores podem ser perdoados, mas alguma do que está sendo escrita é quase estrangeira. Well said....I wasn't critisising the spelling, just the manner in which it was wriiten ie using text speak, which almost needs translation in itself and coupled with the possible spelling mistakes (as I am not sure are deliberate or natural) made it hard to read with any fluency, especially as it was quite long.
