When will you people learn about the yellow pointy things

Back into hibernation for you, sir

But I've got to get the truth out!! People need to know!

Not on this forum they don't

Just now on BBC News channel

"Principle" teacher of Hanson Academy, Leeds

Due to the censorship none if this makes any sense. Can I at least have a clue ?

If you're lucky you'll be pointed in the right direction.

Or you'll turn yellow with envy...

Ho ho.

Still none the wiser.

This must be wheely driving you nuts.

Somehow, he's missing the point.

Seen on the back of a plumber's van this morning, verbatim:

I think I have the thin end of the wedge on this one.

No matter how hard I tri I just can't get the angle.

English usage rant??

Are we a bit off-topic here?

Yes.
There are no Hazelnuts.

Don't be silly. There's one in every bite.

Which was a risky gambit, if you think about it.

What constitutes a bite?

A couple of nibbles.

And back on topic, people who spell bite when they mean byte!

Writing brought when they mean bought. Also loose instead of lose. Also putting an 'e' on the end of lens.

Don't start me off again!

Also, "would of" and "could of" instead of "have"

I seen that one before.

I seen what you did there, Brian!

You seen what I done? You is more cleverer than what I is, bro, innit!

I'm fearful that this thread is being neglected. Ongoing vigilance must be maintained!

What about the (presumably American) trend of writing 'then' when the word being searched for is 'than'? It seems to be everywhere now. How difficult must that be?

It's certainly gotten more common in recent years.

Yes, I'd forgotten that one.

I can only assume it stems from a pretty basic illiteracy. Americans say "then", so that's how they spell it.

In the absence of the appropriate education, I suppose, there but for fortune, and all that.
