Let's cultivate an habit of writting a good english in this forum.this is because there are kids who would love to read good english hence boosting their confidence in writting letters and composition,I therefore suggest that the use of some short words or slang should be review so as to create an avenue for good understanding of the text.

I detected multiple spelling and grammatical errors in your post. I suggest that you tackle your own lexical handicaps before you ask others to do likewise.
Peace.

@rilla64, everyone make mistakes either grammatical or spelling, nobody is perfect.....i guess what he is trying to say is the inappropriate use of slangs.

What a great way to teach the youngsters the correct usage
of the english language.

I think it's a fabulous idea!

Let's hope that as they peruse our ramblings,
it would be of some benefit to them in their daily lives.

seriously, if we use only educated/ good english on this site,  it would be extremely, undeniably dry.   i'm not saying thats what makes the site tick but thats part of it.

  For those that want to write good essays and stuff can find good english sites esp on goggle.com
