Letter to Paul - From a mate of mine

[Rip Van We Go Again]

If people must write a letter to the club, why can't they at least get somebody who can spell and is on first name terms with Mr Grammar to give it a once over?

so you didn't understand his point then Mr Pedantic, give him a break i thought it was a good letter, shame you had to comment in that way

It may come across as pedantic, but the truth is that anyone will take more notice of something that is properly written.
Any application forms that we used to get at our old place that were poorly written, were immediately binned.

Jesus!! he wasn't going for a job just trying to get his valid message across  I didn't post it for him to get the piss ripped out of his spelling or grammar

Alright, alright.
No need to be so obstreperous.

Cuz, for what it's worth, I thought the letter was pretty much bang on.  I agreed with each of the points raised.  Fair play.  It will be interesting to see if your mate gets a response.

I'll let you know Ricky thanks, I didn't really notice the gammar etc just the points he made which i thought valid
UTV!!

Don't take it personally, Cuz. Your mate could have written a 900 page opus which contained one single spelling mistake, and if you'd poster it on here it would have been pounced on.

It's just what we do.

You're lucky Bad English didn't see it, mind.

GRAMMAR.

Gammar (If you take the 'r' off') is what made The Hulk all green and lairy.

Don't take it too personally Cuz. Its an age-old custom on here.

no problem, just thought it was a bit of a wanky thing to say

The only thing wanky was your mate's illiterate scribbling.  Did he write it in green crayon?

Yup, he's one of them too.

[Legion]

Aren't we all?

[Dave]

He's also completely right.

It's nothing to do with snobbery, if he writes a letter that he wants to be taken seriously then why not just take a minute or so to make sure he'd written something legible.

If I received a letter that looked as the the writer hadn't bothered to take the time or effort to read back and make sure it made sense then why would I take the time to read it?
