OK, call me old fashioned but some of the English on this forum is bloody dreadful.
I appreciate that it's meant to be fun (or technical) but when the message is written or spelt so badly it's difficult to read the fun decreases and it's easy to misinterpet the point being made - especially in technical posts.
I know I'm far from perfect in this and that people make typos, are occasionally drunk or may not be English first language but can we please make an effort not to slaughter our, dare I say, beautiful language.
