Whatever happened to grammar and spelling?

All the best for tomorrow, nellie. ((((hugs))))

Thank you*ana and anno*xx

Enjoy your new job nellie, best of luck

Sock it to 'em, Nellie!

nellie I started in social care on 1st October 1976 and then again on 1st October 1979 as a qualified social worker - it's a good date. I hope you will enjoy your work as much as I have enjoyed the last 36 years and I know you will be fabulous

Good luck in your new job, nellie. Be thinking of you

Oh wow thank you all,am nervous but excited,hope I come up to scratch,better get an early night xxxxxlove nellie

Oh Nellie - it's tomorrow you start! I was thinking it was last Monday (I've been away all week)! Like nightowl, I loved my job in social care - though my job was 'health and social care', like yours will be. I'd found my niche - and so will you! You'll be perfect for the job! Good luck - we'll all be thinking about you!

Good luck nellie you're going into a grand job. Hope your first day goes well

think I may suffer from OCD relating to spelling - the gym I used had a notice saying, "please leave the cubical as you would wish to find it" - had to amend it to cubicle, the cleaner then erased my amendment and, guess what, I felt compelled to amend it again - changed my gym to one without 'cubicles' - felt so much happier!

should add, the spelling error was not the reason for the change!

Netty, should "cant" be "can't". (just testing!)

Nor sure why this is on this thread, but GOOD LUCK in your new job from me too!

That must have been a dialect 'cant'! I think 't is slowly vanishing as the words cant and wont are becoming words in their own right. Like 'til is now mostly til.

Personally I find the inability to distinguish there, their and they're most annoying.

And Good Luck for tomorrow Nellie!

Cant and wont are words in their own right, NfkDumplint!

Hi Ana,
Can't is an abreviation of "can not". cant is to do with a form of speech!

I'm sure one of our Teachers will correct me if I'm wrong. I may have misread the post of course!!

Yes! *You're right Gramps.

And - "Constance, as was her wont, left early".

I can't help thinking that none of the discussion on this thread so far is likely to encourage Katherine Fry and Rowena Kirton to give away one of their books!

gramps - thanks, but I did know that!

Nellie...go for it, you are a natural people person...huge and warm (hug)

Hope I didn't embarras you Ana. Not intentional!

I don't see how, gramps, as I had already pointed out in my post that 'cant' and 'wont' are words in their own right and obviously I knew what they meant....

I'm always getting myself into trouble, saying things or misunderstanding summat!

I hope you liked the flowers Ana. They looked ok but my sense of smell is not too good these days!

Probably due to "AD"!

The flowers are lovely, thank you gramps!
(I didn't know you subscribed to the Architectural Digest - did you have a nose-related accident with it?)
