How not to write English


Recommended Posts

Who gives a stuff this is a forum not an exam paper.

You have the opinion that we should all be word perfect in the English Language. Are you as good at Maths and Physics, or practical skills such as plumbing and electrics.

 

Don't throw stones and have the attitude we are all numpties. Spell checks etc, not all of us care we get on with our life and don't bleat about it.

I do.

True.

No, I don't.

Maths.- yes. Others- no.

 

Don't throw stones and have the attitude we are all numpties.

I didn't; I don't.

 

And what I asked is in fact just this:

This thread is intended to give examples of poor English used by officials, as seen by SF members, and how it could be written more clearly. Please post examples BUT only if your version is an improvement.

 

Geddit? I'm reasonably sure that you have been as baffled by 'officialspeak' as I have been. This thread targets it, not people.
