    they ARE important. indeed . like capital letters. And fully formed sentences. (damn post modernism).
    what isn't important is to have conquered them by a certain age, to somebody elses arbitrary criteria.

    If you can find more than 9 grammatical errors in this post you win todays prize, which is to be directed to a classic B52's video of my choosing on youtube !
    and RM, I am really pleased that you agree.

            Even under this government 11 is still greater than 9 so.....

            just for you, EA !! Congratulations.


            Enjoy !

                Well thank you, TS. But I must admit, it wasn't really my cup of tea.

                  My pleasure. Didn't think it would be !
                  BUT : you took part, you won a prize, and you tried something new, and at least you know for certain that Fred and the crew aren't for you. So more pluses than minuses .....don't know where you got 11 from though !!!!

                    Do you remember "Many a Slip"? The contestants scored 2 points for identifying and error, and 3 for noticing one that hadn't been intended.

                      Creative point scoring is always fun !

                        I've just done a pedant's check and there are more than 11, though Jean and Vinteul would probably argue otherwise.

                          I am already regretting this.:smiley:
                          did you include doing 9 in numbers rather than letters?(would have been a caning for that at one school I attended ).

                              The competition is CLOSED !
                              All the prizes have gone....If it was a TV phone in you would be wasting your money !!

                              Anyway, it's "Five more," not "5 more".
