fazz,

Thanks for editing! ^__^

Sorry Iam not being unkind

every year they say GCSEs are getting easier etc same old argument

but if your English at school is like what it is here and you get a C then you prove them correct.

farrrk me

When I was younger and first started to use MSN, I started abbreviating words, for example "thanks" became "thx" and most annoyingly "you" became "u". Although even at that point in time, none of my bad habits picked up from using MSN were transfered into my work at school. Occasionally I would accidentally make a mistake, but i'd always notice it and correct it.

Basically the point i'm trying to get across is the fact that how Fazz types online and here, may not be the same as the work he has written in his school books. Also certain people aren't as free flowing when it comes to typing things out on a keyboard, so that can often be the cause of grammatical errors.

I agree with Pho because when I first started typing I abbreviated many things to type faster, but it never transfered to my work in school, although the spelling errors did. >.>

I always try to write correct, but I don't feel I am good enough at it.. I don't use big I's as I should! This is my way to improve! ><

I wasnt trying to pick

I havent understood him alot of the time not because of missed commas grammer or abberviateion acronyms.. its often because he words things phonetically.

For Egample if i aktually talk lik this.

small words but collectively I cannot understand him, as you may have seen, I originally assumed english wasnt his first language.. its then strung together with no full stop so its one large continuous sentance with words which dont work.

I certainly hope he doesn't write like he does in real life as he does here, I am sure he doesnt either.

But like it or not, I mistook him as someone who struggled to learn or speak English as it came across so badly in all departments not just abbreviations etc.

Good luck in GCSEs

what subjects you doing? I did

English
English Lit
science
science (double)
history
maths
CDT
Graphic Design
Business Studies
French

Then I had to sit some IT exam which by the way for GCSE is completeley pathetic!

I dont worry about abbreviations and spelling on net too much, yeah its a bad sign of degeneration on our language, but hey the Americans cant speak it properly anyway Just kidding anyone feeling precious

Only words I think are bad are when people just having fun and someone who thinks the world of their mirror image and their precious kills scores calls other people noobs and says pwned etc... Its not cool , it is the act of a complete wanker. Not that I get that at all, I have seen it alot even by people teh same age as me, people say 16 and under you give them a bit, but people in their late teens and 20s need to get out more , Play some sports.

I'm doing them

/yawn

French


I did alright, got 2 B's, A whole bunch of C's and a single D (And if you wanna count P.E. then I got an E as well )


Also I'd like to widen this topic slightly...

I didnt realise you could do half GCSEs

Mind you RE and PE.. lol

Was that GNVQ an intermediate?

Well they were subjects that were compulsory, if I had chosen to take either of them I would have gotten full GCSE's for them.

The Science GNVQ I think I did the higher paper.

RE RULES!!!!!!!!! if i go 2 a session for 1 hour a week, for like 6 weeks, i can get a whole nother GCSE to my name, well worth it...

Gwd luck saun and pho in exams...

You see thats all different

RE wasnt complusory to take GCSE

a Modern Foreign Language was however , am I right in saying thats now no longer compulsory.

I must admit, apart from the initiation into college/ further education, I never actually ever used/ needed my GCSEs.

im not sure on that, it is for me, coz i go 2 a language school, so it is compulsary for me (which sucks, coz i can bearly talk english, let alone any other language)

but ye, i dont THINK that it is compulsary

good luck everyone

can honestly say my gcses never really been used :s

I compulsory have to do
Irish
+
French.

Irish because its a national language, then another language.

Surely you would have needed them as pre requisits to your creative college dance thingy or whatever it was. I know you was only there for 8 months but you know what I mean.
