[Macaw16]

Please can everybody who posts try to use correct English grammar (or at least try) because I find it very annoying when their isn't correct grammar or spellings.

Grumpily, Macaw

Fixed that for you.

I'm sorry about my mistake and also the worst grammar I have seen is from people from the UK and the US. Also I'm more talking completely wrong words and really bad spelling.

I would also suggest there ought to be a question mark somewhere, given the 'can everybody...' opening - though it is hard to place when there's a second clause. Better would be:

Stylistically, I'd probably want to re-word that second sentence completely, as it's a bit awkward - possibly just ending with '...when this isn't the case.'.

This is a late-day April Fool, right?

In Scotland, we celebrate it all day. Propose seems to be common along the pranks. People are asking 'Will you marry me?'

Posting this I now realise how bad my grammar is (or should I just pretend its my auto correct keyboard )

Auto-correct is better.

I would just suggest a few deep breaths before typing and then a quick proof-read before pressing submit. Also, inserting an apostrophe if you're using 'it's' as a contraction of 'it is' rather than as the possessive form of 'it'.

I'll just run on the assumption that like any true Northerner, you are still a bit tipsy from drinking away your sorrows at the fact Richard III was buried in enemy territory rather than York Minster as he should have been

From all accounts most German people speak English just fine and even better in some cases

Defensively speaking, you all should recognize that you spell the word 'center' wrong all the time.
