  2. this thread is great it gives a great insight into society
    and what people think about the the differences of teaching
    subjects from what we were taught and what is or is not being taught now
    and I don't think anyone has started swearing yet ...
    well not in English anyway lol

  11. My primary school head master who was an ex WW2 Spitfire pilot taught us Morse code. What would I have done without that..?
    But it was much more fun than the lesson we probably should have been having.

  12. That's actually an interesting point, because in programming languages, if you don't get it exactly right, things aren't going to work as you would hope them them too. A computer doesn't understand "they're" for "their" or "there". They are entirely different things.
    So you'd reckon that accuracy in language would be something that the yoof understand.

  13. I think you may be the first to use text speak though. Well done.

  14. speaking of text speak, i hate the word ' ed'... as in "i ed him".. it grates on me.. surely it should be "i sent him a text" or even "i text him" sounds less... errrr... well, less something.....

  15. You're wrong, chizel. You love the word "texted" because you like new, shiny things.

    I have a friend I exchanged texts with: the English language mutations boggle even my easy-going mind :)

  20. "I sent you a text."
    "A text has already been sent to you".
    "A missive has been electronically directed to you by way of the text messaging system."

    :Smug:

    "I texted you."

    :confuse::Arghh::punch::Finger:

    Yeah, I can see how that might confuse someone. Someone already old and confused, at least.
