Hots on Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Been in the BNP, you would expect him to burn a book....it's not like he can read one is it. Should you have started that sentence with the word Being ? because at the moment it reads like you're telling us that you have been in the BNP.

Should you have started your second sentence with a capital letter? Because at the moment it reads like you need to check your own grammar before having a go at someone else's.

Because at the moment it reads like you need to check your own grammar before having a go at someone else's.On a forum like this where the entire meaning of a sentence can be changed by a typo or a spelling error, the lack of a capital letter isn't going to affect it much? Whereas using totally the wrong word, does? Not being pedantic really, but that sort of attitude is what's led to a couple of generations becoming semi-literate. On the topic, I think some people were charged with po offences after burning the British Flag on Remembrance Day, but I agree that the burning of a religious book of any sort shouldn't really be grounds for charging someone with an offence. I suppose the actual offence was more to do with his reason for doing it, than the book itself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever people's attitude may be does not necessarily determine the education they were or were not fortunate to receive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
