chonabot Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 Just an observation, IMo it seems the standard of spelling and use of grammar on this board amongst certain individuals is very poor. I am offerering free spelling/grammar lessons to native English speakers only, in an effort to rectify this..... No names being mentioned It seems the posters who have English as a second/third language are doing fine. Or we could ask the administrators to install a spell checker here? I blame the Uk/US education system.. j/k chaps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IonFlux Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 Do you have an opening for a temporary teacher then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger13 Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 Hi Chonabot, I agree with you. But how are you giving the lessons? I am concerned that the Readers who have English as a second/third language will think that the Postings by English Speakers are correct whereas they contain many errors (I do not mean mistakes/Typing errors) I mean wrong usage that the writers obviously think is correct. I put up a little tutorial on the usage of their/there/they're at: http://forum.thaivisa.com/cgi-bin....;t=1673 for the benefit of Readers who have English as a second/third language and it was immediately criticised by the English Readers whereas it was not addressed to them. The Subject was "Studying english?" So I don't know why they read it !! Anyway the Admin have Locked that Thread. Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chonabot Posted July 21, 2003 Author Share Posted July 21, 2003 Sorry for any misunderstanding Roger , this thread was intended as a light hearted dig, nothing else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger13 Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 Chonabot, Yes - and my "But how are you giving the lessons?" was also Tongue in Cheek. But who is your Light Hearted Dig aimed at? I am quite sure that the Targets are Blissfully Unaware ! Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edd Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 Hi I must admit my spelling is not as good as it should be but that is what a secretary is for, at least thats what i used mine for. If the only thing that was importent was the spelling and grammer then i would have not had a usefull job for 30+ years. Get a life Edd BSc. Eng.

chonabot Posted July 21, 2003 Author Share Posted July 21, 2003 Edd , nice slant on the humour, but what would I do with 2 lives? Btw how could you have a Bsc in English?, when it's clearly in the arts related fields? Phil BA Eng ( hons) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambutan Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 Hi Chonabot! Why did you write "...Native English speakers..." ? I think native should be written in lowercase, if not - why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edd Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 :laugh: Dear Chonbot you must realy hate your brother, talk about sibling rivalry. If your brother is so desperate that he would think of dating as i called her ''The lady of Challot'' well more like a pickled onion, why dont you bring him to THE LAND OF SMILES. Love life, love differences,love sun shine. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
