:lmao: Is it just me or does that make no sense at all :?

nope, not just you lol

I've totally screwed up now - confusing people...

Without being rude you're not confusing people, it's just written wrong. In terms of the tour March is completely irrelevant because the shows started in February and continued through to April in he US and Canada, so in regards to start and finish times March is of no relevance at all

no I don't take it as being rude... just your opinion on the topic.

Well, not an opinion so much as fact on this one :lol: March is irrelevant. It's like me writing Meat's UK and Ireland tour in June even though the big opening show was May

your 100% correct on this. I see what you mean.... March is irrelevant int he way you put it :-)

This has been suggested before :twisted:

Dave

Then why can't you write this well usually?

To what level you passed we don't know, you may have been borderline fail, the teacher may have been drunk at the time. But if I'd have written that essay in my youth, I'd have been given a bloody good caning.

Damn, and I bet he was looking forward to it :lmao:

Pud :twisted:

This is a family forum Pud! :yikes: :lol:

That doesn't usually stop you and 'Big' King :-P

I don't post anything people here wouldn't wanna know (primarily because it's no-one's business lol) - it was Mr Monstro that started with Burger King jokes :lol:

I remember my GCSE days and I cringe when I look back at my essays, lol. They were so bad. However, I'm relieved by the fact I can but that down to dropping standards in comprehensives........ Since leaving school, and finishing my A-Levels, my writing and grammer skills have greatly increased. Forget about the lack of persuasiveness, I found it really hard to follow your essay because the grammer was soooooooo so bad. You used ';' when when you should have just used a comma and you missed out commas where there should have been one. You need to sort out spelling aswell. There are a lot more mistakes but it doesn't take a genius to work them out.

:lmao: I almost died when I read his post.

You mean "as well", not "aswell", and "grammer" should be "grammar".

What were you saying about spelling? :lol:

Dave :twisted:

:lmao:

How many of us are now carefully reading and re-reading our posts before hitting post reply in this thread? As a compulsive typo-maker I know I am :))

My written spelling is spot on, my spelling errors here are usually due to typing too quickly rather than bad spelling, but typos on the forum don't usually have too much of an impact on how the text reads..really not sure spelling is the problem with this one! :?

I have to admit, he didn't pick these so called "spelling errors" out when he gave it me back. Plus as this counts towards a nab we will be doing - I only needed a 'Pass' or 'Fail'.

So really I don't mind if it was nearly a fail - but I passed :-) and that is good for me.

That's one way of looking at it...personally I like to know that when I pass something I've passed it well so that next time I know that if I work to the same standard I can't fail

yeah I agree with you there... I might ask him when we go back from holls, if what I did was a pass (it was) but meaning if it was an essay being given a grade (other than a Pass or Fail), would it of been a A,B or C pass...

I wonder....

I agree Lucy, to me Ross's posts just make no sense what so ever. As in the sentences are gobbledy gook

then I think to solve the probelm is that I think more on how to put what I want to say and hope it sounds right :-)

Just slow down when you're posting Ross, and re-read things before you hit submit.

As I suggested before, and I might be wrong...

There might be a few reasons this passed:

1. Current movement is not to check grammar on essays but content only. Far cry from the time when they gave me B on written entrance exam into the university for one comma.

2. Teacher didn't know much about subject and cared even less.

Moral of this story for students is...pick the most obscure subject you can and run with it. Then a little imagination goes a long way...:lmao:
