A slight digression but a reflection on the modern standards of English teaching 
I went out yesterday to a country store where they sell garden stuff - compost, paving, tools etc.
I called in and asked the girl if they sold turf. She looked puzzled and went to the till to search for "turf". She hadn't a clue what turf was. I explained it was rolled up grass but that was too much for her so I thanked her and left, bemused and despairing

Imprezza instead of Impreza.
Forrester instead of Forester.
Leggy instead of Legacy.
Oldun instead of Old One.
Iruny instead of irony

Being able to string a coherent sentence together requires a reasonable level of intelligence and a bit of education, many of the recent posters don't have either

Loose/lose
Mute point instead of moot point, why would a point be silent.......
People saying they are jealous when in fact they are envious.
Lend and borrow misuse "borrow me a fiver" !!!!!
Geezer

"Borrow me a fiver" is just a figure of speech, I hear? Some may say it is different to making a 'bought' and 'brought' mistake. I think most people know that they are playing with words, but then the uneducated ones think that that's the only way it is. For example, some say- "Give me it". I'd rather they say (like Keira Knightley says in Atonement to her sister for that controversial letter)- "Give it to me!" in posh accent.
What got me in a pedantic way was when I was a new kid in town, and one of our well-educated friend couple invited us for a dinner party. When my ex-husband said- " So sorry, we can't make it on that day", they answered- "How boring!". Now to me, they should have spoken- "How disappointing!". I was told that I was too old-fashioned with my colonial English knowledge that I had gained back in India, and I needed to update it with the informal and trendy English usage of these post-modern times in this fun-n-rebellious, here-and-now UK. I now have learnt/have invented myself some modern usage e.g. the abbreviation of the French Connection UK, Twohat, Turnip etc.

Morning
Well where to start. The overall standard of English on Scoobynet is frankly, embarrassing. But the people who cannot spell don't give a toss, it's really that simple. Your/you're, to/too, there/they're/their, lose/loose, its/it's - there's hardly a thread without at least a few of these basic errors, and on some threads there's a simple error in EVERY SINGLE post. The other day we even had "And breath". Didn't even know the difference between a breath and to breathe.
For me it's an absolute eyesore. Most of the people who make these errors have never read a book in their lives and have no education beyond life experience. It saddens me. But in a world where "being understood" is apparently more important than the accuracy of the means of doing so, properly written English is on a one-way road to decimation. I'm glad I* was taught properly, that's all I* can say.
* because I* can't be bothered to go through all that again.
