Western society is doomed but we don't want to kill you because it is not your fault - is it? The seller/author is a blight on the Brits. I would also venture a guess that the level of intellect could be easily matched in specific parts of Canada.

Isn't there some sort of law that the Queen's English is the only English to be used over there?  It could be an immigrant from Canada.   :D

Wow that hurts my eyes!

I must be getting old as I'm resisting the urge to want to have these people taught proper English!

It used to be that kids like that got deported to the colonies or sent off to keep order in foreign parts in the army...  sadly no longer.

However. Maybe the guy is a brilliant mechanic but dyslexic and slipped through the school system. Some people do have their brains in their hands not in their heads.

I doubt that applies in this case.  Too many references to cultural slang to be explained by dyslexia.  I have to conclude this is a case of very bad spelling combined with a liberal use of street slang.

I believe this might have been his word processing software:

Yeah, Canada is no longer a colony.  Can't send him here.

is one to infer from the image a suggestion that certain ethnic groups have limited literacy skills?
Or if you prefer, that certain mostly urban cultures are just plain dumb?

Are we allowed to say that in modern Canada ?

I think it's more just a play on the word "Word", as in the slang, "Word".

I didn't read the entire thing, too hard on the eyes / brain.

But is it possible this guy is a recent immigrant to the U.K. and his English is not up to par. 

I'm just trying to imagine myself writing French, I would spell words as I think they're spelled not how they actually are. Take fore example the word Yes in French "oui", if I didn't know it's spelled like that, that's not how I would spell it. I assume that would go for a lot of you that are not French educated. Correct?

Also didn’t you guys read the e-mail that was going around a while ago, about a Harvard study concluded that the brain could still discern what a word is even if it's spelled incorrectly. So, spelling is highly overrated  :rofl2:
