This is insane. Legally (like anyone pays any
attention to
these
laws) you
cannot do simple things like fitting an electrical
socket to
your
own home,
but you can change the brakes on your car. The second
one
is FAR
more
dangerous to other people!

It's not about safety. The electrician's union owns more
government
lawmakers
than the mechanic's union.

Which electrician and which mechanic are you referring to?

Did you read his post at all? He referred to a union,
not an
individual.

Did you not see where the apostrophes were at all? They
referred
to an
individual's union in each case.

You make the assumption he's one of the few who puts the
apostrophes in
the right place.

He's obviously not.

Most will write "electrician's union" to mean the
union for all electricians.

Only the illiterate would do that...the same sort of people
who think
plural's take apostrophe's.

Go take your OCD medication, we're not interested.

Go take your illiteracy elsewhere, we're not interested.

Not my fault if you can't understand what everyone else can.

Not my fault if I **** on illiterates.

FACT: 99% of people do not put apostrophes at the end.

Where did you pull this 'fact' from? Out of your rear end, just
like
all your other 'facts'?

Only a computer program requires precision placing of apostrophes.
The
rest of us knew perfectly well what was meant. Grow up.

Getting ahead in the modern world requires literacy. Learn to write
correct ****ing English. And eat ****.

You're not right in the head. Getting ahead means being understood.
And everyone except you understood what you moaned about.

You're a ****ing moron. If you can't learn simple grammar, you'll
never get anywhere.

I was never stupid enough to bother and got far further than you ever
did.

You got as far as Oztralia...and you were transported there
involuntarily!


A much better country than the overpopulated soaking wet ******** of the
UK. I'd gladly swap places.


We'd gladly see you swap places.


And have the "convict" over here?!

You'll end up writing in textspeak, wontcha m8!

I don't and its been for a ****ing long time now.

You people are all illiterate anyway...I don't suppose it matters much
out there.


They speak the same language as us,


No, they don't. They're barely understandable.


They're easier to understand than some UK folk, Glaswegians and Irish for example.

it's the yanks that are ****ed up
with "stoopid", "aluminum", etc. And missing or adding syllables in
tourist/terrorist, myrrh/mirror, can't/cayan't.


Theirs is a different language and has no pretensions otherwise.


They call it "English".
