Too many rules and exceptions for spelling...............Always hated it.

Not a problem. I only stop and decipher somebody's ebonic post if I think that person has something worthwhile to say. Otherwise I skip that one and move on to the next post.

Now, for some clarity:

illude - To play upon by artifice; to deceive; to mock; to excite and disappoint the hopes of.

allude - To make an indirect reference.

Sometimes the greats cover their tracks by burying their bones so to hold off the aching arms of death.

The funny part was when yo ass got banned for fighting with Alpha C over the meaning of it.

What thread was that in? Was it this one?

No, dear boy. I believe it was a thread regarding people skipping tracks on albums, if memory serves me correctly.

What a very nice thing to say.

Yeah, you know it 😂

So, what happened?

Apparently, in the UK it will shortly not be possible to get high grades in GCSE English if you don't have a very good grasp of spelling, grammar and punctuation.

People were complaining about that, which shows just how far it has gone.

It's ridiculous that this previously wasn't the case. How could they give high grades to students who didn't have a good grasp of grammar in English class!?!?

What sort of GCSE English? If it is Literature then they have a case.

No, Language.

Then the complaints must have been cultural. Back to the standard English debate.

I doubt it. The education system in England is littered with ridiculous judgments. I know of an excellent math teacher who was rejected on the basis of his spelling.

It's all part of the debate about what purpose grammar serves and what is really meant by 'correct'.
