the post Hammock person.

Rangatiras' do not attack schoolgirls.

"Young lady don't take this personally as it's not aimed at you - it's about countless thousands....."

Which words don't you understand and I'll explain again using smaller ones.

If you look a few postings up you will see the same young lady posted again and this time she had made an effort with punctuation, grammar and spelling.

Respect the other Forum readers by making an effort at good English. Why is that a big ask when 99% of posters are native English speakers?

And what was wrong with the suggestion to add a spell/grammar check as a simple and free learning tool?

Why encourage mediocrity? I thought Australians were taught to "go for gold." I didn't know it had changed to " Aim for the lowest common denominator."

So if you still think my posting was a personal attack on that young woman you've got rocks in your head, not your puny slingshot.
