I'm also sorry that you have taken a kicking on here re: your English. But take on board what other posters have said, and take it in good grace. If you speak in "textspeak" you lose gravitas straight away.
You are not on MSN now, or texting your buddies.
Look at what you write, and CHECK it.

I'm only a dumb copper, but I was Grammar School educated and I make damn sure no-one will pick me up for spelling etc in here. It's a personal pride thing, and also it's only basic English anyway.

While you are re-taking your A levels, try to get out of the habit of "textspeak" and "MSN speak". Write some letters by hand, read the papers. Get to know and love the English language.

You stand a far better chance then at OASC.
Good luck anyway, reach for your dreams.

Regards,
Laar.
