While on the subject of spelling, grammar, text etc., when text facility first became available on mobile phones I heard a television celebrity say he had just texted a friend? I mean, just typing it here has thrown it up a spelling mistake, but now everybody is saying texted. Again, its laziness; to save saying Ive just set a text to a friend, or whatever. But even so, I would have thought the word text would still sufficed? Whats the general view on this?
As an aside: I sat with a group of friends recently in a pub (no surprises there!) and it was announced via a TV news broadcast that, Jeramy Beadle (a British celebrity) has died of pneumonia. One of the guys remarked, Thats a strange word, aint it, that pneumonia; the way its spelt. Whats it begin with? I told him, A cold, normally. Haha haha haha.:biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1:
