The standard of literacy in the uk(?) as judged by forum posts.....

It's my phone's fault if I write badly. That's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it.

Even the BBC, so beloved of many on here are at it. Caught a glimpse of a trailer while SWMBO was watching some bilge for a show called "The Wall". Daft buggers missed the Y from the end.
