8) We don't like CJ's use of 'U'.
that:
1) there are many reasons that grammar levels are different for different forumites
2) bad grammar doesn't make U a bad person
3) bad grammar doesn't stop U from being a bad person
4) if your arguments are poorly constructed, they are often misinterperetated (if read at all) and are not usually helpful to the ongoing debate
5) good grammar doesn't make U a good person
6) discussing an emotive subject on this forum will sometimes ignite people's defensive/aggressive tendencies and the debate will get lost. Grammar is one such subject
7) Azande is not a woman (at least, not usually)
So, building upon such a strong foundation of knowledge... can I please ask that we, as a collective, try our best to make our posts understandable, coherent and in English?
Thank U.

Ooooh, I've got a new sig
I apoligise for my aggressive posts on the previous thread.
It would be nice if this thread resulted in a collective consensus.
Now we just need someone like DTS to make a real luvvie duvvie post and we'll all be blissfully happy.
And, as the sunset, the forumites went to bed. It had been a tough few days - but these were tough times:
"Good night CJ" said Ant
"Good night Ant" said CJ
"Good night CJ" said David Bailey
"Good night David" said CJ
"Good night Ant" said David Bailey
....................
..... and the "collective consensus" is, ...... that Ant can't spell
.... but we love him anyway

It might have been better if you had started your sentence with a capital letter ('I'). That is just so basic.................
And, to fully correct your post, the following might be better:
"I think you will find that 'apologise' is the correct spelling".
(Your post implied that the word 'that' is spelt 'a-p-o-l-o-g-i-s-e').
PS Your final sentence was not correctly punctuated and does not make sense. You could either say:
"Sorry, I could not resist it"
or
"Sorry - could not resist it".
Either way it needs some punctuation after the word 'sorry' otherwise it seems like you are referring to a person (or pussy cat) called 'SORRY' - who just ate all the cream (or whatever).
PPS Oh and why is it all in capital letters? Capital letters are reserved for specific circumstances.
Do you want still want to dance with me ever again? :-)

I hope to be considered a top 5 contender re spelling and grammar
A teacher once wrote in my school book 'try using English rather then your own dialect', I still have the school book.
Fletch is tops for me
When I first wrote the above I miss 'ed' on considered and 'er' on contender.
I used 'got' instead of 'have' etc
It's largely lazyness
my sig is the epitomy of good spelling and grammar - well done fletch and DB
A couple of points here:
1. Was the expression "Oooooh" actually ending with a 'w' type sound - ie rhyming with "boo"? If so, then I am not sure you have the correct spelling. In fact, I'm not even sure that 'Ooooh' is a valid word. If it is prounounced like 'oh', except just for a longer time then what is the meaning of the sentence?
2. 'Sig' is not a valid word. If it is an agreed abbreviation, then perhaps a full stop would be best afterwards. ('Sig' is best reserved for Captain Scarlett: 'Spectrum is green').
y?
