It's amazing to see similarities in forums around Asia.

Without exception there will be those Anglos who will criticise other posters spelling, punctuation and grammar. Possibly it has escaped your attention, but quite a few members are not British, Aussie or American (who have problems with spelling anyway), so why do you expect them to have the same level of fluency?

English is a second, or even third language for many - does this not make them worth supporting, instead of deriding?

I, for one, am proud of my ability to communicate in languages other than my mother tongue - and I am also not embarassed to make mistakes.

QED

So, how about a little tolerance . . .

These grammar/punctuation nannies are usually late-middle-aged gay men who "tisk tisk" and roll their eyes if they see a misplaced comma or a loose thread on your shirt collar. You know, the ones you see strolling along Sukhumvit with their thaiboy escorts.

My wife said I am not allowed to go to Sukhumvit Thai boy escort or not, since the likelihood of meeting loud-mouthed, loud shitted hawaianguys is enormous, as they stagger out of the bars where they feel most useful.

Being well informed (I almost said "of above average intelligence"), I listen to my wife. She is the brains of the outfit.

Please note hawaianguy, I am not deleting your flame bait, since I suspect you are a troll, just closing the thread so you can go back and have another beer or 3. Hate it when you chaps have what you see as an intelligent thought, and end up here and not in bangkoksexy where you belong.

Tisk tisk please take that thread and close it..
