Draw Sysytem for 200 series

good on you sandman the poor spelling and grammar that appears often on the forum annoys the excreta out of me!

We all make mistakes sometimes, but I wonder how bad it can get before we lose the ability to decipher what is being written.

I got some flack a while ago because I questioned the SPALING.
Gramma' is getting too old to read now.
Draw, wif a Texta?
Draws, I'm wearing some now.
Do your breaks work? Are they broken, Do they brake or break.

One I saw was a post about the east and west McDonalds in central Australia. I didn't know Alice Springs had so many MACCA'S family rest your aunts.

When it is a key board key next to the intended one, I can understand a mistake has been made.
Maybe we do need Peter Gargoyle's Gonski more than we need burning insulation in out howsus..

Good points well made Ross.

Isn't it ironic that we now have more and more hardware to supposedly make communication easier, but at the same time we are degrading our language skills (through poor spelling, grammar, punctuation, limited vocabulary) so that communication is getting harder.

Cheers,

Poor spelling must hinder internet searches, searching for draws would give a vastly different result to drawers.

I was in Total Tools yesterday looking for a new bench vise, I was surprised to see that on their boxes they were described as "Bench Vice".

I think the pore speling is a curs put on man for havin to much bear and gooder tymes.

Language and spelling are both constantly evolving , each and every generation produces new words and meanings , do we really want to go back to the 'thee's and thou's' of biblical terms or the wherefore art thou of Willy Shakemeup ,, We seem to conveniently forget that the English language is the most bastardised of any language in current usage..

An example:

I got this in an email yesterday. "well drive up saturday".

We were discussing going to a football match in Sydney next Sunday afternoon. The Parramatta verses Rabbitos game at ANZ. That's all he put in the email. No punctuation and so on. Previously just my wife and I were going. And then we had all spoken about them joining us and making a weekend out of it. However they had to adjust the shop rosters for both of them to be away at the same time.

So I understood it to mean; why don't just you two drive up on Saturday and we will join you for the game on Sunday. As if they couldn't shift the staff around and couldn't make it for the Saturday night.

So I booked accommodation and a dinner reservation for just my wife and I for the Saturday night and arranged to see some friends on Sunday until the game at 3PM.

That's not what he meant. He forgot the apostrophe in "We'll". In other words he was saying that "we will", that's all of us, drive up on Saturday.

AAArrrggghh

And people say that it's not necessary!

If a farmer sent "the whether was bad" in an email what would it mean if we didn't worry about spelling. You come across that word misspelt all the time.

I shouldn't have responded as the post was way off topic. Hopefully we will get an edit function one day that maybe the moderators will delete my post.

Evolving , under 21's say "that was sick" or "fully sick" meaning great /excellent / the best ,,, we older ones mean it to be ill , Evolving in language and Text.......

I agree about the evolving part but what's your point here?

Your post reminds me of a scene in Crocodile Dundee when he was in the bar and one of the local and he ahd a conversation and neither understood the other. Just before his encounter with the "other sex"!!

You just have to laugh.

G'day Phil
Nice set of those things, very handy.
I noticed you haven't got a safety barrier between the fridge and you.
If the event of a reasonable accident the fridge moving forward may just kill you a little bit.
I presume the later configuration has the safety built in.

I thought that this was about drawer systems.

Phil

Valid point I feel Ross as a cargo barrier is part of the package sold by nearly all drawer system manufacturers.

Yep, valid point about a safety barrier.
