      I find that thinking about the rate helps, each sentence is worth a McDonald's employees daily wage.

        And with all the grammatical accuracy that aforementioned McDonalds employee might be capable of.

          That's a good point although starting a sentence with a conjunction is something only an Asda Trolley Collector interview reject would do.

            Check for typo's

            Checked my to-do list this morning, got a couple of things coming up, testing all day today and tomorrow, then another guy contacts me and says am I ready to start the testing for another project. I check the RAG report I got from him yesterday and it said to be done between 12 May - 31 May. So I had scheduled it for next week.

            "Oh sorry, mate that was a typo, should have been the 13 May."

            Oh brother gonna be a busy couple of days.

            Still got a few mins for CUK while the tests are running.
            Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.

              Would they also refrain from any form of visible punctuation? Difficult for me to view it from the trolley collector perspective. Hence my question to you.

                I wouldn't know, I'm neither a Trolley Collector nor an English Teacher. Making sure my grammar is perfect on a forum is not a priority.

                  This "invisible punctuation" sounds like an interesting concept in meta-grammar.
