It would appear that our moderators are either inhaling or asleep.

The Norman/Evert thread is titled with a gross misspelling of the word Separation.

It was pasted from this link.

http://news.ninemsn.com.au/national/870960/norman-evert-announce-seperation

While I have no problems with the morons from Ninemsn being unable to spell, I do with assaults on the English language appearing on ASF in thread titles.

Shame shame shame.

gg

And I speak as one who has been Separated more than the average.

Poor Greg.

Why pick out just this misspelling? It's just one of dozens that appear all over ASF every day.
 
That was cut and pasted directly from the we site, I didn't notice the error at all. They've corrected it now.

Its becoming more common, Julia, and the thread title has special resonance (rezninz for the ninemsn mob) for me.

Poor Greg.

Yes he must feel like a right goose after all he went through to be with her. I wonder what he found out after they were married that he didn't know before? or perhaps she found out something ??
I can hardly wait for Womens Day to answer all the questions for me, I'm all a twitter:
 

He is not the first mate, and he will not be the last.

He's from just down the road you know, Ayr.

Poor Greg

That way we can keep it SEPARATED from the useful stuff on here..or at least contain the crap!

Cheers Ya'll

I thought the SEPERATION thread was quite good.

Calling it crap is disrespectful of Burnsie.

I'm surprised every time I see obvious spelling and grammar mistakes on various news sites. Even the most common ones slip past their proof readers - if they use proof readers that is. It's orsom dude.

If you contain the crap you lose audience numbers, NineMSN learned that long ago.

You have to maximise the crap for best results, thats why the ABC gets less viewers than 9, 7 or 10 who deal in crap exclusively.
 
Speaking of language

More and more people end a sentence with "yeah" ...........Why ?

They also have upgraded the word "today"

It used to be only "will that be all today?"

Now it's please come through here today.

Will that be with sauce today ?

What color would you like today ?

Credit ? sign or pin today ?

Went to the dentist the receptionist took me through to the same room I've been going to for 30 years, she says "through here today"

Is this Gillards education revolution where everyone has a forced lobotomy secretly after dark so they will always speak like bogans and be more likely to vote Labor ?
 

You will probably find its from some training manual from McDonalds, JB or the McGurk debt collection style book.

So you owe, $250,000 today.

Well if it aint paid, you are toast , today.

Then it spreads into NSW Labor and Liberal Party Manuals and then into the Feds and suddenly its in the English syllabus.

Then ninemsn get their hands on some illiterate with teeth and a delightful smile and then its on the internet, today.

From all the time I have spent reading on the internet, lose spelled as loose is by far the most common. Maybe they teach that spelling in some schools.

I'm sure no school would teach that.
I reckon "there" instead of "their" is way more common than
"loose" instead of "lose".

And Wysiwyg, since we're being picky, if you're going to quote particular words you really need to enclose each of them in quotation marks.

Do you mean as an interrogative? That is quite common here in Blighty.

A contagious infection caught from the Americans... probably from some viral lingua-hazard such as the McD's manual GG mentioned.
 

Okay.
 
I have to agree about the spelling mistakes through the newspapers. The editors must be asleep.

That is so unprofessional.

LOL @ 'today' Mr Burns. I agree.
