Please don't be too hard on skyboy1919, he's the product of an education system that has become fatally flawed. For many years, teachers have downgraded the importance of spelling and grammar to the extent that "txt spk" is acceptable to some.

Although I shudder at some of the basic errors made here, I realise there is nothing I can do but try to lead by example. I know, for instance, how to spell "professional' (even though it appears at the top of the screen!) and that "Britannia" is a lady with a Shield and spear. I was taught how to spell with no hint of "deferred success" - get it right or be beaten to death

In the push to achieve 50% entry to higher education, British Universities are being forced to accept students who, in the past, would never have made it through the first interview.

<<Hi everyone

Iam currently writing a paper for uni and was wondering if anyone had some cultural do's and dont's. Or mistakes people have mad or heard of.

I am talking about common mistakes people make around the world. Soles of feet in public and so on.

Thanksin advance for all your feedback>>
