Daily Mirror- Joe Lewis will sell the club....if he gets £1BILLION.

How on earth does that relate to what I said?

I didn't say a single thing about anyone's spelling or grammar.

I merely advised that reading a long text online is difficult. So adding in a few spaces inbetween sentences can help.

It was meant as friendly advice and I didn't say a single mean or critical thing about anyone.

I referring to “I don’t think it’s anything personal mate” I get your being nice, sorry for getting all righteous ( and yes I did look up the spelling ).

West Ham fans don’t have the money to chip in, they will love the idea though.

It's ok, Newham council will pay their bit

I would say an investor would be looking at paying 5x current revenue, whatever that is?

Revenue will rocket once I reach that promised land...also known as the 'Cheese room'

Well it is personal, if I went round calling people fat in the street who I didn’t know I am sure they would find it hilarious. Or how about polishing men’s heads who where bald. So why are people dicks about punctuation and spelling when dyslexia is a common problem, people brains work differently that still have a valid option!

Why do you hate bald fat people?

Because their massive shiny heads can blind you if they catch the sun just right

Being as I am admitting I am not well educated does that bar me from stating my opinion because I am not as clever as you.Also I feel that anyone that goes around the net correcting and deriding some other grammar needs to get a life and is a smug twat.I got an idea lets have an English test and only those who pass are allowed to post comments

You probably should have used "I've" instead of I there mate?

I don't think anyone is cleverer than anyone else. You actually stated your opinion pretty well in your first post, but it was difficult for the reader to process your ideas because there was a large block paragraph with few breaks.

There were lots of semi colons to separate your ideas, but no spaces after them. It makes it more difficult for us to understand your thoughts.

Your post above, that I'm replying to, is easier for the reader. You have full stops, but still no spaces after them when you want to start your next sentence.

If you use a full stop or a semi colon, which you've been doing, hit the space bar after that. Just makes it easier to read.

It’s an ongoing SC joke, mate. Definitely nothing personal!

You should see the sentence structure of some of our ITKs, they may as well have carved their info onto stone!

Not having been taught grammar at school, I have struggled with some concepts, especially semi-colons. How I've tried to explain punctuation is to imagine how you want the reader to speak out aloud what you've written.

I've written some real drivel - I would hope nobody wanted to read it aloud.

I had a friend who went to court for misusing a semi colon.....he had two consecutive sentences

I'm sure I'm guilty of that and general misuse of semi-colons. My use of semi-colons is a bit half-arsed. ?

I'll donate £ 1000 to SC if ENIC are still in charge when we play our 1st game at the new stadium

Got your bag of sand ready @tototoner ?

Thought not

I bet he'd want closer to 2 billion now considering just the stadium is worth near a billion!

my friend u are discribing how a dyslexic finds all writen text....welcome to our world

I know what you're saying, mate. Wish we had a universal, instant translator chip in our brains to decode and recode text for both reading and writing for all of us, so folks could express themselves and understand each other.

It didn't escape my attention that you write in short sentences for a reason, and that it probably takes a special effort to do that so people get your message, which is a process most of us don't even have to think about.

I have dyslexics/dysgraphics in my family, a few actually. The challenges are different for each of them, in reading and writing, and in different ways.

I was trying to help the poster I was responding to express himself so that he could be understood more clearly. But, I'm glad you made that point you did. It's a more important discussion.
