freezer Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 In all fairness - and yes I know I'll get slated for taking this viewpoint - but the OP has a point. One of the few important things away from football that seperates us from the gash inbreds is the ability to communicate in a proper fashion. So if you're not sure how to spell Lansdown for example, learn how to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS4 on Tour... Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 I'm with the OP - people come on here determined to get their views across and determined to be seen as more knowledgeable than others - but then we see: Aston Gate Landsdown Lansdowne Bistol City Maciness Lewis Carey (not that one, when referring to our record appearance holder) Ateyeo Ateyo Coteril Cottrill Coterhill Corey Smith Pembleton Albie (for Aaron Wilbraham!) Abrahams (for Aaron Wilbraham!) Wibs etc etc. In the grand scheme of things it's obviously not that important but most posters are emotional and demand to be taken seriously and demand that their knowledge is taken seriously. But if you can't spell the names of important people at our club, or the name of the stadium, or the name of the team correctly then why should your views be taken seriously? I'm not the (cringey term!) grammar police, but it just bugs me and I just happen to agree with the OP. Apologies if that upsets some on here.

Eddie Hitler Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Apology accepted. For me football forums are for discussion and the content is what matters; you're not writing a report to the Board. As long as what they have written is understandable I do not care about grammar or spelling, even Aston Gate (though I've not seen that one!). Picking people up on these is both petty (you've understood what they've written and you're not their English teacher) and can dissuade people who know that their written English isn't great from posting. I have read at least one plea from some guy whose posts always got ripped apart to give him some slack because he had dyslexia. Well you don't need to be dyslexic to have poor spelling and grammar, you will know you've got it and having the clever kids continually point it out is going you make you stop bothering to post. I'm sure some already have. Stop being petty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure some already have. Stop being petty. I'm dyslexic. There seems to be a general assumption that dyslexia simply aquates to a person's inability to express themself adequately. This isn't the case, it is multifaceted. I am particularly affected by dyslexia due to, what is known as, poor working memory. I find the retainment and application of short term/newly learned information abnormally difficult. My use of language is however, conversely, way above average. One could argue that over-marijuana consumption in the earlier days is the responsible factor - but educational psychologists don't agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that - and I may be wrong in my assumption here - that the OP point is that posters are not basically using the correct lingo, or basic grammar skills when responding on this forum. You, sure sound more than adequate in that department, as proved by your continued ability to converse adequately. Dyslexic or not, you always post in a coherrent fashion. As for your last statement, sorry, way above my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
