    As long as you understand what they mean then give them a break, we aren't all perfect at gramma, just as some aren't as good at Art, maths, running, chemistry or whatever. I do however wish I was Mr perfect, but even if i was i would draw at line at picking people up on social media because they are not as perfect as me at gramma. If someones gramma bothers you that much I would imagine the same people are nervous wrecks watching the news, murders, child killers, famine, natural disasters. Picking people up for there spelling is not pointing them in the right direction its bullying, rather than lambast them on here in front of the masses, if it bothers people that much then bloody inbox them

    If my grammar bothers anybody. Don't take it to heart. She's an angel really.

    It really pisses me off when people type in a ‘Yorkshire accent’. It’s stupid, pointless, takes extra time, is more difficult to read and makes us look simple.

    It’s not worth pulling people up over though. I’m sure I’m in a minority that thinks this way.

    I find it strange that pointing out that "would of" should really be "would have" is unacceptable on here, but calling our own players "w***ers" is fine.

    It

    It does make us look simple, its cringeworthy, it's probably one of the reasons why we are stereotyped and called as you say " simple", up and down the land , f$%k even our own fellow Yorkshire folk think the same

    It's not at all acceptable , constructive criticism, absolutely but not as you say calling them " w***ers, saying that I haven't seen that on here but that's not saying people haven't

    It was in a couple of posts during/after the Birmingham game. It was also directed at Adam Davies last season.

    If I understand what is meant to be said then life is too short for pulling up people for spelling or grammar. I am however, one of those people that uses full words and sentences when texting and can't understand why people still use the shorthand text speech as most are on free texts contracts anyway.

    The thing about w***ers is, most of us are w***ers in some way, at some time, but I find that the biggest w***ers are the w***ers that don't think they're w***ers at all!
