Oldspice, I'm not convinced by your theory.  Although I love Twix could just be pretending to be semi literate.  That would be very naughty of you Twixy.  Incidentally, I might have missed it, are you a girl Twixy?

    No Bounty, I am not saying that I Love Twix chose to write 'anger' instead of 'angry'. You initially wrote that poor literacy skills indicated we are failing our youg people. I responded that we are not deliberately failing them by not teaching literacy properly. We ARE offering proper teaching of literacy but many young people choose not to pay attention, or think it is not important or, in some contexts such as an informal forum, choose to use informal forms of writing.

Thanks for your good wishes Goldencup. Good luck with your temporary promotion also.

Hello Oldspice, I was not pointing the finger at you, merely indicating my disappointment that it seems that for whatever reason, literacy skills are at a low ebb.  This is by no means a problem restricted to youngsters.  Just the other day someone asked me how to spell 'AISLE' and still ended up writing a message, 'DO NOT PICK FROM THIS AILSE'. 

So Oldspice, why do you think Twixy should have used Anger instead of Angry?  It seems to be a rather elementary mistake to me, symptomatic of underlying literacy problems.

I congratulate you on your promotion.

 Thanks Bounty! Well, I think he/she was either typing too fast and he/she was thinking even faster, or they really can't writer too well. A bit of both probably. What I think is dying is the art of proof-reading.

Why have these posts gone all wide?

Proof reading would be my dream job!

These wide posts are annoying me too, I'm glad it's not just my pc.

They've gone narrow again

Proof reading would be my dream job!

I'd like to do that too. 

OK how about this one:
