and all of the last posts are off topic.

How so? The OP deleted his post. Unless of course you would like to discuss how Oleg stands...in the literal sense???

Get her a cool drink then

Considering the ethnic background of a lot of posters where english is not their first language, I reckon the spelling/grammar is not too bad at all. My pet peeve is the use of the word loose vs lose. Age may have something to do with it too, the younger generation here in my part of the world tend not to spell as well, for whatever reasons, as their senior counterparts.

I think that every generation sense Shakespeare's time has complained about "the younger generations" use of the English language.

Here we are 400 years later and its a wonder we don't communicate in mono syllable sounds like what, yo, hi, hey, OMG, ect...(LOL).

Not wrong there, can still remember my old man being on my case to speak "proper" english and complaining how the "younger generation" had lost the plot.

I'd guess all cultures try to enforce "proper" spoken language. If they didn't, the change might be far faster. Ussian Uthe of today might not be able to watch classical era Twilight Zone, or listen to Rolling Stones, and understand the dialogue or vocals.

ooooo...now there's a fancy new phrase I've not heard/seen before.

kudos!

It's all about maintaining standards. Once you start commencing sentences with prepositions, or splitting your infinitives, then that sloppiness starts to seep into how you trim your plane.

Fact.

Hmmmm this thread has taken a turn for the surreal....
