WHAT HAVE I STARTED!!!!
In future I will restrict myself to making mere comment on the facts of a particular post and not look at the spelling grammar, syntax (I think that is how you spell it), spacing, text and/or whether the verb has been conjugated (again I hope that was spelt correctly).:angel:
But in all seriousness, I hope that the jocular banter generated by this thread can be seen as an aside and we all get on with the important things in life like, having a laugh, sharing a joke and getting on with what we need to do to keep our beloved Land Rovers, on the track and ticking over.
I’m off to take the Fender for a trot to keep the battery charged and ready for our next adventure:burnrubber:
I teach English to international students who I find generally have better English than my own children and their friends, possibly because they are actually taught grammar and spelling at school, unlike our children, until recently when the light dawned on the educational supremos that it might be a good idea to revive it.
International students have to achieve IELTS 5.5-6.5 (depending on the course) to get into unis in Australia. I reckon my kids would all get about 3-4 if tested.
This would be why most unis require new students to do an essay writing course before starting their courses, since they usually come out of high school only semi-literate.
