English Chanel?
Is there a big sand bank above sea level in the middle.
I have claimed this to my friends many times, but everyone keeps telling me I am wrong. Am I?

The spelling & maths on SN these days - I don't know :
1) "chanel"
2) "also 6 miles aint far off half it's narrowest bit which iirc is ~20 miles" - 6/20 is nowhere near 10/20
3) "isle of white"
I ask you!

imlach......you may think you're being funny but if these people have genuine problems with reading and writing you won't feel so good about it.....bullying the thick kid in class was never cool and it doesn't make it cool now we're all grown up.

Just for the mathematicians out there, 6 is also closer to 8 than it is to 3. Interestingly, 22B hex equals 555 decimal (ah, the old ones are the best!).

LOL
My spelling/grammar alert went off too, and was going to post the same, including the Chanel/French thing, but you beat me to it
BTW,
Care to have another try (or was it deliberate )

957% of posts? That would mean there are more posts with errors than there are posts. I think you probably meant 95.7%!

Hello
The level of spelling and grammar on the internet as a whole is quite shocking. I am not sure if it is because people feel that the internet is an "informal" place and as such can't be bothered to think about the way that they write.
What worries me more is that I receive emails written in a similar style, and I do not think that is acceptable in business.
Having said all that, I am probably just particularly @nal as I even use capital letters and punctuation in text messages!
Steve.

Totally agree. One of my pet hates too. However, I think you are being too charitable - my pet theory is that the majority of people using the internet (present company excluded, naturally ) are just plain thick!
Look at the shocking amount of mistakes in thread headers on here (that can't be edited)
