TBH literacy has become so bad that I just let it all go over my head. As long as I can understand what they are trying to say, I just grit my teeth.

I tend towards assuming in attempting to read posts by someone who can't spell their sh*t, that they're (not worth) sh*t.
It's also ironic that often posts in question are slagging off someones abilities or intellect. Own goal?

Yeah, posters correcting others' spelling/grammar while doing the same themselves are a bit of a giggle. I like to blame any of my mistakes on my stupid wireless keyboard.

LOL yea thats about it. I think when we see all the gibberish messages, it's from cheap ph's that don't have a spell checker. Either that or they turn it off because thats not how they speak. Eg: Gangsta text

I got asked for ID buying alcohol a couple of years ago. It was the most flattering compliment I received that year.

Are you on either AK79 or Class of 81?

Sorry no, graduated from the folk/blues scene in the early 70's to being contracted as a Lion Breweries Circuit musician. Great times. (Big cringe at the following links!).
I went to the gas station ( with brand new swapper bottle sign out the front ) to swap my gas bottle, it was in service and a good condition bottle, The attendant said we don't swap gas bottles, i asked why? and he said his boss told him they didn't.
Fair enough. I wont go back there :-)

Rumor has it they all were; but to quote the age old adage,. "If you can remember the 70's you weren't there". !
