The only test as to whether you should post on this forum is an ability to read, understand and keep to the Code of Conduct and an interest in France. Please don't let anyone persuade you otherwise. Of course being able to communicate effectively helps everyone, but if you miss dotting an i or crossing a t, there is no need to worry.   www.quimperclub.org 99    Report

I suppose that is why some people leave one country and go live in another.  Others of course try to change the country from within.  Probably... I guess... or something.    Report

Who exactly apointed you to say that grammar and spelling do not matter?  I have not got great spelling or grammar but I aspire to improve always.  You seem to suggest these things do not matter.  Funny.. only today I posted a serious question only to have a moderator reply completely ignoring the question and correcting my French!  I have a nephew who eats with the falk in his right hand and when I correct him he says "it's a silly rule", maybe it is but it is a convention and MOST people respect it.  Rules and conventions are the things which distinguish us from the animals.  (And sky TV of course). In a civilised society it is not individuals (even mods) who decide which conventions and rules we will or will not follow.  Conventions such as spelling and writing correctly are important and for a Mod to suggest they are not is... in my bumble hop-in-neon , wrong. No offence meant, just expressing an opinion.  Forgive the spelling. Crispy Dandruff      Report
