Oh. My. God. On other posts I’ve been critical of the language skills of some of our overseas students. I don’t know if Sophie is overseas or not, but this looks like chav-txt. Sure, you can put anything you want on your blog, but for pity’s sake. That’s just not english.

    Ha ha ha.. Yeah, read the posts I’ve sent her too, and the ones that she wrote on my blog page. This is the English language at its very ugliest, it really makes my blood boil.

    I assumed that she’d written it in plain English first, then run it through some kind of translator (kind of like the Shizzolator ) as some kind of ironic statement.

    Why else would you go to the trouble of writing 0f instead of of?

    There’s always the more disappointing possibility of course, that she actually thinks this is a good way of communicating with others. In which case, sadly, it seems our entry requirements are not what they once were.

    O.k., I’m going to stop right here because I know I’d easily lose a battle between pedants.
