The standard of literacy here is appalling. I'm genuinely shocked. We are failing our youngsters.
Post by: oldspice on July 13, 2005, 06:28:26 pm
No - we are not failing them. We are providing the opportunities for them to learn, practise and develop good literacy skills. However, in some contexts they choose not to use them. That is the nature of literacy.
PS - I have just been made Senior Lecturer in Adult Literacy and Education - today! That comes with a £4,000 per year rise!

Many Congratulations Oldspice!
P.S. I've been promoted this week too, but only to cover my boss's Maternity Leave

Sorry i was just a little anger
Hello I love Twix, Oldspice is saying that you have chosen to use the word 'Anger' instead of 'Angry'. Would you mind explaining that to me please. I'm not being funny or sarcastic, I seriously want to know.

Oldspice, I'm not convinced by your theory. Although I love Twix could just be pretending to be semi literate. That would be very naughty of you Twixy. Incidentally, I might have missed it, are you a girl Twixy?
Post by: oldspice on July 14, 2005, 01:26:29 pm
No Bounty, I am not saying that I Love Twix chose to write 'anger' instead of 'angry'. You initially wrote that poor literacy skills indicated we are failing our youg people. I responded that we are not deliberately failing them by not teaching literacy properly. We ARE offering proper teaching of literacy but many young people choose not to pay attention, or think it is not important or, in some contexts such as an informal forum, choose to use informal forms of writing.
Thanks for your good wishes Goldencup. Good luck with your temporary promotion also.

Hello Oldspice, I was not pointing the finger at you, merely indicating my disappointment that it seems that for whatever reason, literacy skills are at a low ebb. This is by no means a problem restricted to youngsters. Just the other day someone asked me how to spell 'AISLE' and still ended up writing a message, 'DO NOT PICK FROM THIS AILSE'.
So Oldspice, why do you think Twixy should have used Anger instead of Angry? It seems to be a rather elementary mistake to me, symptomatic of underlying literacy problems.
I congratulate you on your promotion.
- Bounty

Thanks Bounty! Well, I think he/she was either typing too fast and he/she was thinking even faster, or they really can't writer too well. A bit of both probably. What I think is dying is the art of proof-reading.
Why have these posts gone all wide?
Post by: goldencup on July 15, 2005, 08:01:31 am
Proof reading would be my dream job!
These wide posts are annoying me too, I'm glad it's not just my pc.
