English [as she should be spoken]

I don't pretend to be the most perfect when it comes to using the "English" language.

Recently, I've been using Flickr and "Secret Leeds" [a website that pertains specifically to Leeds]. The use, or miss-use, of out language is astounding.

Their ,instead of they're, buts as opposed to but's, plus loads of other gaffs.

I don't pretend to be that clever, or that I never make any mistakes [because I post when I'm pissed drunk, more often than not] but some of the mistakes that I've read make me cringe!

Here are some examples......

They're, there, their.

But, butts, But's.

Through, threw.

By, buy, bye.

So, sew, soe.

Red, Read.

Reed, read.

Plus many, many more [or, ore moor].
