Ricoh or Richo (1 Viewer)

[Speedies_Chips]

Can we have some sort of poll to indicate whether we think the people who spell Ricoh as Richo are:

a) Grammatically challenged

b) Think it is amusing in some way.


I'll go for a).

My fellow pub attendees in South Lecis refer to it as the "Reako".....which they seem to enjoy. But then again these people also enjoy seeing there sister naked

 

[Bill Glazier]

My other favourite is 'loose' instead of 'lose'. And Covkid, surely you mean 'Reeko'.

Pedantry attack over.

 

[torchomatic]

Not necessarily. What about Teak, Beak, etc?

My favourite is the use of "of" rather than "have" - "Would of", "Should of".

 

[ajsccfc]

The Rioch is my favourite typo, I like to think people do it intentionally in that case. The old Bruce Arena.

Outside of everybody's favourite your/you're, when people mix up bought with brought my brain freezes.

I thought their hilarious joke was that our stadium reeks. Hackers always spelt it that way. We've reached a sorry state by the way when I miss banter from Leicester fans who can't even be bothered to come here any more.

My favourite is when people mix up truth with lies and lies with truth, the same can be said of facts with opinion and opinion with facts.

So you can all fax off about your attitude about Ricoh.

Yes you are right - as an educated man (although numbers is my thing) I'm also embarrassed by the use of there so please feel free to pull me up on my grammar. If I start quoting incorrect numbers on here, as an accountant I will hand in my notice immediately

Shitfields and Sickfields used to be quite prominent misspellings on here at one time.

 

[ajsccfc]

'Suxfields' was my favourite. It combined an acerbic dig at our situation with the coquettishness of a teenage girl.

It always reminded me of travelling to Highfield Road through Hillfields to be honest.

 

[torchomatic]

Yeah, I liked that on.e Particularly in combination with Shitzu.

I was quite disappointed nobody ever called it 666fields...unless I missed it of course...

I also hate bad grammar and spelling and used to point this out to people when they couldn't spell simple words etc, until one of my daughters pointed out to me that, just maybe that particular person is dyslexic and has tried really hard to say something on a forum. That really made me think, so I don't let it bother me any more.
(I'm not perfect either, having been pulled up once or twice before, but I put that down to my age and trying to type too fast!)

Dyslexia is just middle class for thick.

Dyslexia causes bad spelling. No issue with that.
'Should of' for example is bad grammar and a basic lack of knowledge of the English language and deserves ridicule.

Not nice.

Not necessarily true either
Often associated with high Inteligence
Also quite often exceptionally good with numbers

I 108% disagree with that statement.

A friend of mine that I was at University with was only diagnosed with Dyslexia when one of the tutors spotted issues with her assignments. She was given professional help to aid her condition and studies (no cure of course). She went on to gain First Class Honours and now runs her own business. Just shows that a disability need not hold anyone back in life (although it did take until after she left school for a diagnosis).

Or she may just be thick and middle class

 

[Houchens Head]

I agree that well known people and scholars have been diagnosed with dyslexsia - Richard Branson, Steve Jobs, Noel Gallagher, Sir Anthony Hopkins to name but a few. It hasn't prevented them from achieving their goal. But all I'm saying is, people with dyslexia have a problem with words, spelling and grammar. THAT'S why I don't mock, much the same as I wouldn't mock a deaf person because they can't hear, or a disabled person because they can't walk.

 

[Hobo]

Dyslexia is just middle class for thick.

And that is the attitude of someone who likes to Lord it over others.

 

[WestEndAgro]

If people have such a problem with word blindness , why did they choose such a difficult word to call it (dyslexia) surely a much shorter and simpler word to read/spell would have made more sence, perhaps something with only two letters.

 

[Gazolba]

My favourite is the use of "of" rather than "have" - "Would of", "Should of".

Yes, that really irks me too because it makes no sense. It comes from people pronouncing 'have' as 'av' which over time morphed to 'of'.
It's a case of people spelling something as it is pronounced, not bad grammar, although that is the end result.

I know you only jokingly said it for effect/amusement
Would that be 100+12.5th In old money?:-/;-)

I'd be quite happy for it to be called the 'Old Bruce Arena' in honour of the best act that they have had play there !!

People will think that it may be in honour of Bruce Forsyth though!

Nice little anecdote. Just goes to show what can be done if you take personal responsibility instead of using it as a lazy excuse.

Bruce and jimmy hill we could do with a double chin and tonic

Tim Wisher and Steve Faggot.... This is spelt correctly you bunch of Loosers!
