What risk? Jumping ship? Is there any evidence whatever that being better qualified makes one more likely to breach a contract?Step outside posh boy -

Probably for the same reason you write YOUR instead of YOU'RE and TO instead of TOO, it's called being lazyOriginally posted by northernladuk View PostAnd zippy, why quote the entire (and long) post right underneath the original post so making us scroll to read the next reply????
Believe me I find the lazy misuse of similar sounding words a hell of a lot more annoying than someone quoting an entire post annoys you. I have to work out the meaning of what you post from 1st principles when your doesn't make sense in context, same is true for misuse of to/too and there/their/they're.Comment

He's a nob. northernlad sees himself as some form of forum ploice demanding people dont quote the whole post for some reason. Probably because he's too lazy.Originally posted by MaryPoppins View Post
Anyways, putting yourself forward at the highest rate isnt always the best move imo. Its a bit like when you get quotes for work at your home. The highest quote isnt an indication of the best workmanship. And, you tend to dismiss the highest and lowest quotes anyway.
So, especially in a tight market, it makes sense to go in at a slightly lower rate.I couldn't give two fornicators! Yes, really!

Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

Possibly, but I find it a nightmare to read a sentence that has a word with a different meaning, but similar sound as it throws the context to hell.Originally posted by MaryPoppins View Post
It's a form of dyslexia and it means that I have to work out the meaning longhand rather than being able to fast skim read when the context is knackered. It sends me up the wall.
On your original point I agree completely it's damn irritating to get the "you're overqualified" line, it's all but impossible to get through to an agent that overqualified or not you want the role and are happy to do it for the contract duration as advertised.Comment

I don't think so, I'm very sensitive to how people write and in most things he's spot on, the misuse of your for you're is almost invariably a caracteristic of idleness as is there instead of their or they're.Originally posted by MaryPoppins View Post
To put that comment in context I deal with a lot of people who have English as their second or third language and while their grammar or spelling is often off the mistakes I've mentioned are rare as they know they're different words.
Don't get me started on the txtspk substitutions... U, and UR are basically unreadable to me (as they have their own real meanings) and I struggle to
work out what the hell they're supposed to mean in context. Sends me bananas, I've spent years in vain trying to retrain myself to understand the lazy writing that sprang to the fore a decade or so back, it sends me nuts.Comment
