It's your thread did you mean grammar or:-

It's only a question, I still think you have very strange priorities! (and try to force them on others), but then, I'm known for talking c*ap you are an amateur!

you told me when i was young if i ever catch you with a fag in your mouth i will make you eat it! i was scared you would do not every parents threaten their children like that the kids nowadays would probably get thier parents done for something like that. anyway it doesnt appeal to me as i see people every day struggling to breathe because of a little white stick.

My old man ended up with a triple heart by pass because of it and the sight of someone who goes through that should put any kid of smoking.

Re: Smoking near children should be a punishable offence!

I know we all make spelling mistakes and the odd grammatical booboo but it's things like "I wuz finkin ov goin if u iz goin" that get me going!

And there are times when the total meaning of a post can be completely misunderstood because it isn't read the way it was written due to lack of punctuation. I tend to put things in italics or bold if I want that word to be read with emphasis just to be sure that the reader reads it the way I meant it when I was typing.

I love some of the classic "errors" like the ad for a dining room table:

"For sale, dining room table previously owned by student with one wonky leg"

Re: Smoking near children should be a punishable offence!

It is very hard when your typing not to use text speak when you do a lot of texting.
The couple of stray words here and there is all well and good but people should be aware of those people out there that cant read text speak.
Of late we seem to be getting more and more posts that are pure text speak.
All that is asked is that a post is as readable has possible to all our members.
Remember you are typeing not txting. ( oopse )
Please dont deleat post just for one slip up.

Re: Smoking near children should be a punishable offence!

I apologise if I have offended anyone by saying that I find it difficult to read some things when the punctuation is sparse. It wasn't my intention to have a dig at anyone but just to hope that we can all try to be sure that what we say is actually what we meant to say and can be read as such.

Now let's get back to the plot, which I don't think was intended as a dig at all smokers either. It all boils down to considering others and consequences. We've probably done it to death anyway by now.

Re: Smoking near children should be a punishable offence!

agreed with what gayle said about kiddies lungs etc, but to me the title of the thread made it a dig at smokers, sorry but thats my opinion.

Re: Smoking near children should be a punishable offence!

Well i smoke 20 a day.Untill about 23hrs30mins ago.I could kill for a fag now but i'm not going to.Sod the puffers and patches,cold turkey is on the menu.Smoking is evil and should be banned everywhere but of course it raises lotsa cash for our government which must outweigh the cost of treating victims of this addiction.I still want a fag though.lol
