Re: Jacob Rees-Mogg lays the law down on Grammar.
The grammatical points are ok with me and I'm glad it has started a debate and has hit the news. I too used to be a stickler for it, although these days I am very lax. The internet and texting just makes you lazy. I still find it difficult to accept that it's now ok to have only one space after a full stop. I was taught two and I'm sticking to it.Re: Jacob Rees-Mogg lays the law down on Grammar.
HiRe: Jacob Rees-Mogg lays the law down on Grammar.
I agree with you Annie. I still put a double space after fullstops.Re: Jacob Rees-Mogg lays the law down on Grammar.
This is way off topic but I have to answer and say - Sorry Swimmy, you won't get much sympathy from me when it comes to public sector workers and the private sector. You're lot were still sucking in the high wages for years after the start of austerity whilst the private sector workers were being laid off in their thousands with the loss of their homes.Re: Jacob Rees-Mogg lays the law down on Grammar.

I never would have been bothered when I was at school.Re: Jacob Rees-Mogg lays the law down on Grammar.
I found them more intuitive as i was growing up and learning them informally. But when i speak to people from other countries they find them confounding. Imo it's less detail to process and too many wasted characters. But metric is far more precise for technical work. I always thought Kilograms and litres were a metric measure. Is that not the case?
