What do you mean?

I love it when someone mentions a typo or spelling error etc in a condescending manner or in a patronising tone only to reveal a similar error in their post. I used to have spelling, grammar and punctuation OCD but I'm not a big enough c**t to correct other people's mistakes. What's the point? What does anyone gain from it? If we can all understand what we're all typing it doesn't matter.

ummmmm ok

We do have a problem on here with the Grammar Police. You spell things wrong, put too many commas etc. and the Grammar Police are on you. I must add though it's in a nice way. I bet there are city fans out there looking at this messageboard with some interesting and constructive things to say but wont come on here because they're not that good at spelling etc. (like me ). You know what people are saying - Do we get to the point where we have to do a spellcheck before we post? For some of us here it's been 25 years+ since we were at school. Boothroyd, Bothroyd, you know who they're on about. Lighten up - It's a Cardiff City messageboard, not a Cambridge v Oxford university reunion. Rant over

I tried my best to sort out your mess of a post.

Absolutely, but it obviously gets up other peoples back sides!

when the jacks are sussed out and cant answer a question they resort to grammer

Yea same here im as dull as thay cum,

In all seriousness, while i agree that correct grammar is important, i also feel the "message" is more important than the actual "spelling". People should not have to be put off from posting on this forum, for what ever reason, & should be allowd to express themselves in a free & open enviroment.
There is a good mix of "mindset" on this excellent mb, with many contributors, & there is allways room for more. Long may this continue.

I'm on the middle ground here. I don't think spelling and and gramma are that important. However some posts are totally unreadable and to be fair have a reading age of an 8 year old. Like I said I'm not too bothered as long as the message gets through. I'm no expert myself.
The one thing that does suprise me though is the government are telling us that almost all kids leave school with GCSE English, with many of which with A grades. No offence like to our younger posters but some of them post like Vicky Pollard whilst smashed off her face.

In seriousness my spelling is awful my grammar is even worse and thank f**k for the spell checker. But fair play because i reply on here often my spelling is improving so down to this board my English / Spelling is getting better. How do i know because when i press spell checker less and less words needs correcting. But my Grammar well that's bloody awful but to be honest no one on here actually has ever said anything so i guess it has never been a problem
Oh and this thread bought up 5 friggin spelling mistakes i must do better
