Discrete = Discrete in science is the opposite of continuous: something that is separate; distinct; individual.

Just so you can rant correctly.

Well done quite correct Tony... nice to see your Wikipedia is functioning... However the Oxford English meaning is somewhat different... Ie. pronunciation or an example sentence.

Just saying

There's no excuse for that anymore, with the predictive text on the new phones. It actually takes longer to type a message in text speak!

I don't have any gripe with bad spelling, grammar or whatever as long as I can follow what's being said and most importantly I know that the person has made a real effort to write a few lines about themselves.

What really get's up my nose is text speak. Wat u at bbe? U wanna fuk? I met u l8r 4 gud fukin. I feel like it's conversing with a total fuckwit or worse still a child. It's a total turn off, sorry 4 d rant

If your gonna get all technical abuot it; text speak is using letters only. When numbers are used in conjuct/congun/(ah hell) with letters it's called Leet Speak.......

I'm not sure about that. I think Tony Cluedo's definition is more accurate. Sorry op, but I don't understand how discrete can mean simply "pronunciation". If you preface pronunciation with separate or distinct, then ok, but not on its own. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think so.

. Preferable if people can spell correctly. I don't penalise those who can't spell but do wonder if anyone is prepared to employ them ?No excuse for using text language . Some of the spelling on these forums is completely unacceptable . It would seem that standards at school are falling.

. Not good news when a teacher writes like that . At least you noticed the error , not all parents would . Maybe it is time that teachers were re-tested regularly . Not fair to the kids if teachers are below par.

I doubt that we come on Fab to be judged on spelling and grammar...didn't we have enough of that at school?? As for standards at school...well nowadays teachers are faced with large classes of individuals quoting 'PC' political correctness...so they are faced with sexist remarks, haughtiness, violence and aggression so...would you want to teach them what an adjective or noun is??

I agree but to be taught, one has to learn...two way process...different learning styles, learning barriers, drugs and alcohol not to mention concealed knives or other things don't allow for a perfect teaching environment.

So tell me please..how do we teach a person who doesn't want to learn?

I just noticed you are not from our schooling system in Northern Ireland therefore you may not be aware that our educational needs are constantly under review here. We must provide lesson plans, schemes of work, curriculum referrencing for all classes. Plus teachers are monitored for contnual professional development..different in your area obviously....

If you were taught spelling and grammar correctly at school , it is something that you should remember for the rest of your life . If you wish to obtain a decent job , most employers will expect you to have a good command of the English language .

I agree but to be taught, one has to learn...two way process...different learning styles, learning barriers, drugs and alcohol not to mention concealed knives or other things don't allow for a perfect teaching environment.

So tell me please..how do we teach a person who doesn't want to learn?. A difficult question to which there is no easy answer. Will think it through and maybe reply to morrow . Anyone else have any ideas. ?"

You have the luxury of being able to think about this..teachers don't ..I await your solution with anticipation

"Or does anybody else get pissed off with poor spelling on here?

Eg. Discrete? Meaning pronunciation

As opposed to discreet.... Meaning ssshh.... don't tell the wife/husband

Rant over. Preferable if people can spell correctly. I don't penalise those who can't spell but do wonder if anyone is prepared to employ them ?No excuse for using text language . Some of the spelling on these forums is completely unacceptable . It would seem that standards at school are falling.

I doubt that we come on Fab to be judged on spelling and grammar...didn't we have enough of that at school?? As for standards at school...well nowadays teachers are faced with large classes of individuals quoting 'PC' political correctness...so they are faced with sexist remarks, haughtiness, violence and aggression so...would you want to teach them what an adjective or noun is??

You know what that is so right, I feel sorry for teachers today dealing with all that, when I was in school think the only trouble they got was smoking by the bike sheds

Exactly tina! Try ducking from a stapler or a hole puncher coz that's what goes on these days!

Ah stop I hady hands held down while the nun slammed the piano thingy down on them, oh god I can feel it now

Ouuuchhhhh!!"

I know I hated that nun but in fairness I was a bitch in school probably still am

Thanks . Advice noted . I copied the title straight from the book and thought it odd that they did not use capitals for spelling and punctuation , but did do in the rest of the title . I typed the title exactly as it was written. Advice much appreciated .
