I would like to think this forum has been reasonably highbrow over the years when it comes to the quality of the written word.
With the influx of new posters of late, it’s very important that this status is protected.
I hope this thread will become a one stop shop for naming and shaming those who try to drag us down into the depths plumbed by other, less literate fora.
This cannot and will not be allowed to happen.
To start off:
Runt, there’s already two of these threads:
The misspelt words thread set up by braz;
Some recent thread where I threatened to ban people for poor spelling.

I note that poor grammar and syntax are not included in your descriptions. This proves the need for this separate,all-inclusive, one stop shop thread.
Anyone who doesn’t get 100% in this test should be banned from this forum

There are already two of these threads Bandage. There are.
There should have been a space after the first comma in the second sentence of that post.

Let’s not confuse typing conventions with grammar or syntax here.
The your/you’re conundrum is still causing some posters great difficulty, carryharry in particular struggles greatly with it the poor divil.
its the difference between knowing your shit and knowing you’re shit

Please make an effort to use correct spelling and punctuation in this thread of all places. And you with a degree and everything.

Rocko, you just worry about not being a cunt first and then worry about our standards of grammar.
