That this thread has has a capital T, and its sister thread has a lower case t.

And that I don't know the word for lower case, where capital is the word for upper case. Reg? Care to enlighten me?

One of the teachers I work with continually says "wrote" when she means "written". She has a degree for fucks sake.

I always find use of wrote and written not clear. And I have a degree. They didn't teach us English Wink I don't know my past participle from my preterite

I wrote that. Thus it is written.

^^I think that's right.

Youngsters paying for everything on their debit cards, i was at an 18th birthday party last night & all the youngsters were paying for their drinks on their debit cards, one girls drink was £1.75, the amount of time it took for the card to go through the bar staff could have served another person. If you haven't got the cash in a pub don't drink.

It might seem that I'm picking on you tonight, but I'm not. Do you understand irony at all? Jesus wept.

I didn't even know he read the TEF... It clearly didn't come across well, but it was actually my admittedly clumsy attempt at irony.  Must do better.

Just wear the poppy and fuck FIFA. Let them do what they want. The poppy is not political - its a sign of respect and reflection something that FIFA would never understand.

Really? Maybe it's a more common mix up than I imagined (as I myself am not perfect when it comes to my English skills) I just thought it was a really obvious error.

The English language is a strange one.....Reading the town or Reading the book.
Why isn't Reading the town pronounced like Reading the book?

People like myself just dont stand a chance. No

It probably is obvious. I'm a cretin when it comes to English grammar. Just saying having a degree is no indicator of being literate!

Another common one that seems to confuse is lose/loose, which seems obvious even to me yet gets misused regularly.
