Yes, most regular posters on this forum show something in common.  Which is, that we were educated in the "Golden Years" of British Education - the 1950/60's.  In those years, bright kids (even if working-class) got an amazing opportunity.  To enter a Grammar School. And get a proper academic education.

Which still bears fruit, all these years later. You can always tell - we never write "there" instead of "their", or "your" instead of "you're".

But alas, we seem to be a vanishing breed, innit?
