A shocker from our MP! (NB, for pedants only!)

Maybe they intend to smack each offender into a kerb but surely that would come under corporal punishment

He should read what he signs!

Oh I have seen that one (from somebody else)
He or his secretary needs a severe talking to.
And to stand in the corner
And to write out the respective definitions 100x each.

I'm reading a very recently published book in which the writer is frequently 'pouring' over data.

I put it down to auto-corrects and very poor proofreading.

That's the sad thing MaizieD when people don't realise its wrong.

A couple of times lately, I've seen 'we must do our upmost...'
(even autocorrect didn't want to go with that one, just now).

I hope there isn’t going to be any curb crawling?

guttersnipes.

I think he needs to tow the line, personally.

Scottish speakers simply don' t make errors like that . A Scot pronounces kerb and curb very differently.

that sounds like the great fork doesn't rhyme with pork thread on MN.
all over the country people were muttering to themselves on trains and buses, pork, fork, in puzzled tones.
as the other passengers inched away from them...
apparently in some areas they do not rhyme.
no, i don't understand it either.

I was looking online for a specific poem earlier today and came across a website of poetry for schools to use during lessons. One of the categories was "Smypathy Poems". I ask you!

Do you remember the text I got from the school?

"If your child has accidentally brung home the wrong coat..."

You're kidding! Really? That's a shocker!

I posted the text on here.
I was quite stunned.

Oh I hope I don't get a swarm of angry teachers after me now.
Is swarm the correct collective term?

I'll just leave this here...

Oh dear, oh dear.

I was reading our local newspaper last week - an item about how the beauty salons have prepared for reopening. One of the owners 'has took steps to make sure all the equipment is sanitised'. Taken steps surely?!

If I receive badly spelt wording in a formal correspondence, I always reply and comment on it especially if it is from an educational or political source. Chewbacca, I would have gone straight to the Head Teacher on that one, not just on the incorrect spellings but also the misuse of capital letters.

Not to mention the use of Comic Sans.

Oh Chewbacca that is deplorable . The teacher setting the spelling is an atrocious speller

Perhaps he dictated it and it was his secretary who wrote it. Just another indication of the general lowering of standards.

Education safe with the Conservatives?
