i was shocked 2 find out that st georges day was going 2 b scrapped cuz it offends the ethnic MINORITIES while we have to put up with their festivals this is a joke what ever happened to the BRITISH BULL DOG mentality?!! at the end of the day if a country saves you from a war torn country u owe them your life....you should b greatfull nt get pissy cuz we have our traditions that mean something 2 us bt i supose st georges day can be more irritating 2 some people than dying from brutal diseases slowly or having your leg blown off by a land mine or even taken out of your home by soldiers in the middle of the night never 2 be seen again

it is a sad fact but political correctness and freedom of speach cannot exist together but i cannot believe our government will throw away the only thing truely british we have left if we ban st georges day then so be it bt all other ethnic festivals must go 2 ... we will not be oppressed in our own back yard!!!!!!! i understand people have their own beliefs but if i dont like them i keep my opinions to myself and ignor it because all people need to celebrate that includes blacks white asians hispanics eastern european and british

OK, see if you can spot the tiny quantity of grammatical errors in the above two paragraphs, from this Facebook group I stumbled upon when revising hard. It literally made my brain melt.

I'm not sure I have anything further to say. I count 52 grammatical and spelling errors, but that was just on a quick sweep, and I'm no expert on grammar. If you're over 16 and you can't use capital letters correctly, you should be ashamed. You don't have to be a professor at Cambridge University, but you really should be able to use the language of the country you so valiantly defend whenever political correctness threatens to burn the English flag, ban football, and replace Buckingham Palace with a mosque. Interestingly, George is too important to be banned, but not important enough to get a capital letter.
