- ktizo 15y agoFair point, you are right. I think it would be picked up as incorrect by most English teachers in Britain, all the ones I had anyway, however it is correct, if a touch archaic. But I was being an arse for picking at that in the first place anyway, I just thought that your views on avoiding swearing were a bit over the top and not entirely realistic. Many professional environments cope fine with quite a blue tinge to their speech, possibly because having to watch your tongue all the time can be a negative in places that require rapid communication with the full range of emphasis.
- alexchamberlain 15y agoI was probably being an arse by not admitting a misspelling. (Chrome says arse is spelt wrong.) However, I still don't think it is appropriate to swear in a written communication.
