You could always get the Tesbian Bay Li Gransexual Dyslexia Group to organise a protest ouside Less's house.

And Bernadette, if you want to start criticizing peoples lazy spelling and grammar, you might want to start typing out the full words 'in my opinion' instead of IMO. It's a bit lazy and not everyone knows what it means off the top of their head, and it certainly isn't in the english dictionary.

You know, just in case you want to start being really petty about it as usual. :rolleyes:

Re: An article that I couldn't help smiling at...
 

I dont know where Less lives unfortunatly. It's not common knowledge to students my age.

Re: An article that I couldn't help smiling at...
 

No need to get personal!!

My my and here am I thinking you were dyslectic, and making allowances for the fact.:D

Re: An article that I couldn't help smiling at...
 

There's another difference.

Students in ages past enjoyed a challenge, and didn't give in at the first hurdle.

No staying power.

Is beind dyslexic something to be mocked about? You can still be brilliant and dyslexic :)

Today's degrees equates to passing the eleven plus...

and that's if people manage to eventually scrape a pass.;)

Re: An article that I couldn't help smiling at...
 

Its only a worthwhile challenge if its advantageous. Some challenges would have been better left unattempted. Creating a blonde haired, blue eyed race for example when you yourself are dark haired and dark eyed. Pretty stupid challenge to attempt, as would be hunting out Less and his humble abode.

Re: An article that I couldn't help smiling at...
 

Another difference.

Lack of vision and foresight, and being able to see the long term advantages of present actions.

Re: An article that I couldn't help smiling at...
 

To compare a degree to the 11 plus is ridiculous, seen as some schools still take the 11 plus just to get into school. That is the most ridiculous statement I've ever heard, and I have a friend that once swore that Hitler was welsh.

Re: An article that I couldn't help smiling at...
 

And whats the advantage of hunting down Less' house? Because I dont think there would be any advantage unless I planned on getting him a xmas/birthday card, and I dont. So what other use would finding his house be to me?

Re: An article that I couldn't help smiling at...
 

Areas of the country that still have direct grant Grammar schools, do have an examination, but the standard no way equates to the old 11-Plus, which was abolished in 1974.

Just as GCSEs are much easier than their supposed predecessor, the O-level.

Fact.

As is also fact that spelling and grammar used to be a prerequisite for university entrance.

Re: An article that I couldn't help smiling at...
 

This is why I'm debating going to Uni.
Everyone I've known who's gone over the past 2-3 years haven't given me any reason to be envious. The only challenges seem to be how to live on little cash and how rat arsed you can get every night of the week. Well... I've been there and done that. The actual studying doesn't seem to live up to the romantic, inspiring view I once held.

Still, I'll probably go if I get in.
Better to give it a go and end up punching every typical Hollyoaks-esque student I meet than never to have punched anyone at all.

You silly girl, you just don't understand do you? It wasn't a rant it was the only mistake you made in that post that was worth correcting!

No matter what is said to you, your opinion will always remain the same. Also because you are young you now know everything, you have been put on this earth to correct us poor old sad beggers, I know this, because when I was 18 I also knew more than everyone else, it was only with the mistakes made over the following years that caused me to stop and consider that perhaps, maybe, just sometimes, I just might be wrong.

Dyslexic, no I don't think you are, dyslexia is usually a sign of some intelligence.
