Why is it so difficult? You tell me...
No no, I was being terribly sincere with my word. The fact you feel I am being patronising is borderline offensive.
PS I thought the phrase was "safe to say" not "save to say" I'm prob wrong again though, which I fully accept from the off.
DL, I must agree mate. I can put up with a certain volume of txt talk, but when whole posts are made up from it, its bloody annoying, and lazy if nothing else.

I'm liking the adverts for "Premium English Writing Software" surrounding this thread. Maybe we could get it installed on SN?
That would put an end to all this!

You can never say should of if you're using it in a should have context
FPMSL at the plethora of "unwanted"s on the first page. People REALLY don't like being told they're crap at spelling and grammar do they?
But why take it so utterly personally?

It's only dull to some. A bit like the Times is dull for many on here compared to The Star. For others, it feeds their minds.

You may have missed the irony since I started the thread.
For reference I read The Times, but not every day.

Anyhoo, I have sound reasoning for my loose grasp on the English language.
