alittlebitfrench Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Brits living in France are jumping up and down about Brexit....which is fair enough.There is another forum out there (can't remember its name) where they are beating the hell out of the UK for voting Brexit...fair enough.The trouble with most Brits in France is they don't read or watch the French news.To accommodate the demands of the Gillet Jaunes France will default on its EU budget deficit which Mr Macron has just got under control.Some say that in order to meet fully their demands France will have to leave the EU. Frexit !!It is not just the UK that has this problem.One could argue that France is in a worse state than the UK and they have not even going through the process. There is civil war going on in France. Brits don't seem talk about this. It is just Brexit, Brexit, Brexit. What about the country you live in ?So if you are a numpty Brit living in France bashing the hell out of the UK, turn on the French telly !!!!Any thoughts ?

nomoss Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I know it's difficult to know how to spell French words you have heard, but it's always a good idea to check the spelling before writing them, to avoid seeming to be a numptyAnd. review posts before hitting "Post".[:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't prevent your using a spell check or Google.If I'm in doubt I put the word into my Google search box, and it immediately offers me the correct spelling.Try it.Put in "gillets", you may even get the correct form of the adjective.

YCCMB Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I think you need to look at the spelling in the OP, not the subsequently corrected spelling. Just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patf Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 ALBF - being dyslexic is no excuse. You should ask your wife to check your spelling, like my husband does. He's dyslexic.And my husband doesn't post silly things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 So, Patf, the silly things are posted by you, then and your better half gets the blame???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idun Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I have mild dyslexia and unless it was an official letter, then other folks have to just put up with my spelling mistakes.Sometimes I spell so badly that the spell check cannot even make suggestions, and would I ask my husband, JAMAIS! AND he would not be well pleased if I did.Life it too short. Frankly I do not take kindly to anyone correcting my spelling mistakes, so pray do not do it. And if you do, then I just hope that you are completely perfect human beings, speaking, reading and writing perfect french and english..... along with all else being absolutely faultless in your lives.signed, a perfectly happy and rather imperfect Idun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alittlebitfrench Posted December 20, 2018 Author Share Posted December 20, 2018 Is it me or is half the world Dyslexic. LOLThe thing about 'highly' Dyslexic people is that they ultra intelligent. I can guarantee that most of the wannabe dyslexics are not at all dyslexic and are probably just a bit half cooked and should have just studied more at school.

alittlebitfrench Posted December 20, 2018 Author Share Posted December 20, 2018 The thing is, the amount of parents in French schools saying their children are dyslexic is becoming ridiculous. It seems like half the class are dyslexic. They are not dyslexic !!!!It is becoming a fad because their kids are thick or don't want to learn or they have problems at home. I guess it is the same in the UK.It is like saying my kid has got arthritis because he cr&p at football. That is my rant over for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
