Whs

[BrilloPad]

It was quality Brillo, wiggly bottom's thread went on for 24 pages.

24 pages of quality, champagne posting.

Yes I remember ferret saying how he was about to delete it but laughed too much. Though I did fluff it too much at the end....

I had a look back through troll's posts/threads and it was okay - but nothing earth shattering.

I'm sure the Elizabethans were saying the same thing. You can't do anything about it, and it will only accelerate with access to the internet, so don't worry.

Or get a gig on BBC2 with the "Grumpy Old Men".

Then why did you vote that WHS was annoying?
Maybe I can't do anything about it but that doesn't mean I should like it, there has been a massive change in English over a short period of time. It doesn't sound nice, it doesn't look nice, it does however identify morons to potential employers, which is something to be greatful for.

I'm not the worlds best at written English, having had a 1970s progressive education, but I feel embarrassed by my shortcomings not proud of them.

Would you want a child of yours growing up sounding like a cross between Ali G and Joey Deacon?

Could you all stop using emoticons too please? Shakespeare didn’t need them, so why do you?

Nice.

You could always improve your written english.

That doesn't make sense

That doesn't make sense

You could always improve your general literacy, or not.
(actually that would be a fab idea because then you could argue from a point of knowlege instead of the rubbish you regurgitate from Robert Fisk et al.)

Sorry you have lost me. Are you saying you try to improve your literacy?
I suppose it's not needed if most posts are cut and paste?
I'm not sure how syntax would help improve political or economic or any other knowledge?

Sorry I don't know Robert Fisk.

Now you aren't making sense.

Wo is the comprehensive education.

Robert Fisk writes for the newspaper you mostly quote from.

Then why did you vote that WHS was annoying?

Because I find the patronising sentiment annoying. Much the same as I find "No, Next" annoying.

Writing "I agree" without giving a reason or adding to the debate isn't much better than WHS either.

If the OP had wanted to poll opinion, they would have done a poll. WHS doesn't add anything.

I have no idea what you are talking about!
