How is it poppy, when my wife was alive she used to wear one of these, but I now can say I taught her everything she knows and she can't answer back (o:
Yeah good mate! She must have been a real good looker (like mine) to get away with that. Cheers mate.

Reading writing and spelling are in curriculum and must to be taught and assessed. End of story.

I went (to) the local garage. My friend wanted to come (too). I bought 2 headlight bulbs.

I remember when I spelt the word "Yacht" wrong at primary school. The teacher then corrected my spelling and she had ALSO spelt it wrong. LOL

You not come across an EA Falcon manual then ?
Only small minded people worry about spelling, look at face value not the message being conveyed. Its a balance what we been gifted with, the dude no good at spelling will no doubt be so much better than you at something else.

Frustrating as it may be, I can overlook poor spelling etc., on here, but in a printed book it really grates.
One such example is a NZ book which I am assured by the author had been spell-checked and proof read by a magazine editor and two others. To then find "boarder "and "border" incorrect not once but several times is inexcusable.
Lo and behold, I started reading an autobiography of one of my all time favourite racing drivers - who qualified as a dentist - and within 10 pages, the same error there too.
Before anyone has a go at my spelling or grammar, please note that I failed the UK equivalent of School C English. Also failed everything else except art.

Ever come across someone "pouring over a map" in a published novel?

And there is a well-researched book on the introduction in 1949 of a new range of cars by a British manufacturer. The author obviously spent an enormous amount of time and money on it. Unfortunately it was self-published and the author did not have it proof-read. The spelling mistakes, unnecessary duplication of words and phrases, horrific clangers and more make this expensive book almost impossible to read. A pity, it could have been THE reference work on the subject.

poppy62, not the Dog and Lemon Guide, read the description carefully. I don't want to embarrass the author here by naming him, or the book.
