   IMO its mad to be wasting lots of time teaching   
   kids how to spell correctly with a language which   
   has stolen so many words from all sorts of foreign   
   languages. What matters is whether the meaning is   
   clear, not if every word is spelt correctly, particularly   
   with the more obscure stuff like its and it's etc.

   More fool you. Doesn't matter if a facebook   
   post is telling a chest of drawers or says draws.   
      
   In spades when the bulk of the english speaking world   
   uses tires instead of tyres or color instead of colour.   
      
   > Mind you I've recently closed my Facebook account,   
      
   More fool you. It still be best place to find cheap   
   or free stuff local people are getting rid of etc.

   Only one of my friends ever does that and facebook   
   is a convenient way to keep track of what those who   
   have moved away from this town are currently up to.   
      
   > Waste of fucking time.  Anyone I actually want to know, I phone, email, or

   Plenty use messenger just as effectively   
   and plenty don't have an email.   
      
   And you don't get to see most who are getting   
   rid of what they don't need anymore without   
   the local facebook buy swap sell groups.   
      
   > As for twitter, shitty designed rubbish, no threads or anything, just   
   > "tweets" which aren't related to any conversation.   
      
   The real world is about more than just conversations;   
      
   I don't personally use twitter because   
   I think the character limit is stupid.
