In particular the reference to you doing 'O' levels and not GCSE's, working you towards academia - ............ In manner, by the way, or should I say, btw, is called Bridget Jones' speak - speaking in manner of very annoyed person at very snobby-pretending-to-be-intelligent-person. In other words - life moves on, writing and language changes. Most importantly, as said before, some people actually really struggle to grasp what others find very easy - it is NOT a reflection of their intelligence quote] Doing O levels not GCSEs just means we are really old LOL! What is Bridget Jones speak? I'm not familiar with her, well I used to know someone called Bridget Jones but she died a few years ago. I never saw the film or read the book. But I say again, this is not about intelligence or ability, it is about the decline in our educational standards. A person cannot be blamed for not knowing if they have never been taught

[quote author=beany1 board=ght09 thread=101967 postDoing O levels not GCSEs just means we are really old LOL! And my mum did something called School Certificate, but she went on to teacher training college so it must have been similar standard. Now she really is old... nearly 82 ... and currently writing very good poetry. MTA Why can't I get my quote-y things right tonight?

Aw bless. I blame the education system.....
I didn't mean my post to sound as grumpy as it did - having been married to an English teacher, this is one subject that makes me leap out of my chair in defence of the clever-yet-struggle-with-English types. I do believe that in the 'old days' (y'know, when DM was at school, with Mandal, lol) the ones that struggled were ousted out and left school to get a 'trade' ( like chimney-sweeping, in manner of Charles Dickens), while the academics went on to get all the glory in the written world.
However, now the written stuff is global, and the flaws are showing, not because people are dumb, but because people find it difficult. I know this for sure because of the many hours/days/weeks/months I have put in to help my very willing son, who still struggles (whose dad is an English teacher) .
So bleurghhh.

Don't forget I have spent a long time learning foreign languages. Like me, you may have to practise and say the wrong things a lot, but it's worth it to see the smile on the face of a foreigner when you get it wrong. Try this one - a context helps: Waiter: L. O.
