Yes Peter, I agree!!

 

... and I have to say that the "your" vs "you're" thing is a big pet hate of mine. C'mon people (not just rollaclub), get your contractions right! Funny how certain little things bug you! I wonder if there are generally differing levels of annoyance between:

 

(a) bad spelling (author doesn't know any better);

(b) lazy / trying to be trendy typing (the fooly sic stuff);

© spelling things how you say it (for example, "cos" instead of "because"); or

(d) typos (accidental spelling mistakes).

 

It sounds like people generally are annoyed by (a) and (b)?

you agree becos of you're greying hair and jumper

 

did all this start start because i had a little fun

I thought contractions are what (;)) you have when you have a baby..... :)

and when your wife is grasping your/you're hand with a grip like a dawn no.4 vice

you will know what contractions are.

hey mel,

 

keep up the good work, this has created a ripple effect.

 

I just got called 'Mr.'

I believe that i started this effect with my abysmal spelling and slang habits :)

My Old way

 

Ive got a ke70 rolla with a 5-speed man. Its got a set of 15" dished mags with new rubba.

 

*ah, the old days :)*

And the funny thing is, its almost the same length :)

And the funny thing is it would have been shorter if Teddy said:

 

"I have a ke70 corolla with a 5 speed manual. It has dished wheels and new tires."
