None taken. I was a prat back then (and to a degree, still a prat now).Critique wrote:ginofish is making intelligible discussion? When did this start happening? Is this, from what I can gather, what happened to Beep? Some of the older topics I read during boredom show Beep as a bad speller, with bad grammar.

No offense intended to Beep.

Surely Key Stage 1 (Reception to Year 2) is the MOST vital time to be spelling right, as that is when you learn your spellings and they are treated with paramount importance, and by virtue of him being a KS1 Literacy teacher, it is his job!

No. Its not that I disagree with your assessment; but I don't want to hurt his feelings.
Although I am surprised that he would suggest that its unreasonable to expect a teacher to have a command of spelling and grammar at all times.
