I couldn't agree more cee-dee.

The standard of education in school leavers these days is dire. Every one makes the odd mistake/typo including me but I often fall about laughing at what I read. What gets me the most is that the wrong spelling often results in the wrong word altogether, as in there, their and they're; two to and too; and bought and brought...........I'm sure you know a few more.

What about all the posts we read on the boards without capitals or punctuation. My grand mother used to write 4 page letters without any capitals, full stops, or paragraphs, but then she was only educated up to the age of eleven, and due to family issues her education was sparse. Sometimes she didn't put the pages in the right order so you never knew where to start. But I could always recognise the end - " ill write again next week take care of your self sweetheart be good write back soon give my love to your mum and dad all my love nanny"
