Oh good, it's quite embarrasing when they breed outdoors!  :lol:  (Maybe if they got them spaded!  ::) :005:)

I went to a totally c**p school but they did at least teach us the rudiments of spelling & grammar & also the correct use of apostrophes which so many times are used incorrectly. :shades:

I get annoyed just seeing the term 'golden labs', never mind anything else.
'golden labs' grates on me too,  I've grown up with 'YELLOW' labs!... ::)

Quite!! ;)

I wonder if they could be dyslexic? Regardless of how good their grammar is or isn't, I wouldn't buy from an ad online like that, but are you not allowed to breed dogs if you're dyslexic? Just wondering  ;)

As is my boss, she gets me to help her write her emails  ;).   

On our on-line application forms for re-homing a horse it asks what your occupation is, someone replied 'I don't know what this meens'.  ::)

My OH is dyslexic and would be very angry if he thought that the condition he has was used by anyone as an excuse for poor spelling and grammar; he certainly wouldn't have reached the fouth year of his MBA if he produced assignments of the same quality as that Ad >:(

He prefers to use a computer, as there are tools to assist him, such as spell-checkers which can be installed and used in almost every application - even online forms and forums  ;) 

I would expect a breeder to have the skills required to communicate and manage their hobby/business - for instance, when researching stud dogs, compiling contracts and completing tax forms  ;)

I'm definately a spelling and grammar stickler! I hate reading things that have that many mistakes in them it's awful. To top it all off some people want the english language dummed down so that it's "easier" for children to learn, I'm not the sharpest tool in the box but surely this is just going to make us all more stupid in the long run. I don't know any child who with perseverance can't learn, it's just pure laziness.

Personally I'm glad the paper didn't correct it lets me know to steer clear!

DefinAtely!!  :lol:

Um, actually it's definItely :005: :005:

I'm a bit of a pedant when it comes to other people's spelling/grammer mistakes.  The grocer's apostrophy being my massive bug bear.  However, when it comes to my own spelling and grammer, hey, no one's perfect!  :005:  Its like driving.  If someone cuts me up its because they're an idiot who needs to be strung up.  If I cut someone up its because I made a simple mistake and I'm very sorry so please don't get annoyed. Or because they're idiots and shouldn't have got in my way!  :005:

My OH is also dyslexic but never uses it as an excuse.  He got a 1st for his degree and two prizes and I usually end up asking him how to spell things because he was always aware that he couldn't spell so he worked on it. He's said that if he had a chance to get rid of the dyslexia he wouldn't because he believes sme of the things he's good at are due to it, buit that's another story!  ;)

I hate bad grammer and I drive myself mad (let alone others that have to read it all) by editing my text replies!  I can't do with all this text language  :lol:

However, I usually spell check my posts as I'm worried in case I come across as a thick - O  :005:

The guy who played Frasier is called Kelsey Grammer so maybe whoever designed the spellcheck is a Frasier fan  :005:
