Random Irritations

[Swinglowandslow]

Some peoples' punctuation is so poor that it makes it extremely difficult to understand what they're trying to say unless you read what they've written several times.
It's as if they haven't read what they've written before they publish/post it.

There's a new tranch of glib sayings that are fast becoming cliches. You know the sort:

World Class
Next Level
Go big or go home

There's others but i can't think of them at the moment!

That is phonetics and it has been in and out of fashion for a while now. The theory is a little like kids hitting a golf ball, playing cricket etc. The sporting analogy is 'hit it as hard as you like, we will straighten out the faults later'. The spelling concept is as you say, spell it how it sounds, you will correct it as you get older.

My mum was an old school infant teacher and disliked phonetics with a passion. She was pleased that when she retired it had just gone out of fashion, proving her right in her eyes, but then sad to see that when my kids went to school it was back in again. Assuming that the individual will just magically fix their spelling one day is a big leap of faith and based on my own kids learning this way I have to say I am not a fan.

Phonetics must have been in fashion when some of the posters on here were at infant school!

Do you mean the lesser spotted Mcginley? Or the greater crested Coltart?

At least the Greater Crested Coltart is coherent, informative & sometimes amusing, unlike the Lesser Spotted McGinley, who apparently won the World Cup round this very course with Padraig Harrington; who knew?

 

[AmandaJR]

Coltart always sounds like he's talking through a burp!
