Spaces available? I'm not surprised. Tweet Views: 2857 Other articles on Punctuation, spelling and grammar and Education

Ref: 42 I've also noticed that some preschool and nursery workers use incorrect grammar when speaking to the children - just what they DON'T need at this crucial time of language development! Marilyn - 10:53 17-12-2013 Ref: 39 It demonstrates to me that even the seemingly most simple sign or notice needs to be proofread. Garry - 09:17 17-12-2013 Ref: 38 Wow. Shocking errors, I wonder how many people actually noticed them? Standards are indeed slipping!
