john carr   10 #13 Posted August 1, 2014 I must say - if this forum is anything to go by - the level of grammar in Sheffield is appalling.  I haven't seen one poster on here that has a consistent record of correct grammar and spelling (myself included).  Anyone from outside the city looking in, must think Sheffield is full of foreigners.  Embarrassing.

Gormenghast   56 #15 Posted August 1, 2014 When people say or write "I could/would of" instead of "I could/would have"  Saw a notice on a bus yesterday - "Please use the handrails when getting on or off of the bus."  You don't get "on of" the bus, so why do they insist on saying "off of"?

Ousetunes   10 #17 Posted August 1, 2014 Folk who think the full stop between letters is there as a space marker. You see it on here and even on sign-written vans, the last . missing:  R.I.P = which can only be R.I.P.; or A.B.C Plumbing = which should be A.B.C. Plumbing.

BEDROCK Â Â 10 #19 Posted August 1, 2014 I also find it highly amusing when people nit pick about spelling. Â They quote paragraphs then write comments that are also incorrect.
