Quality post tlogic. You certainly educated me in the finer art of rhythm, rhyme and colloquialism's. When I go out I'm going to buss my new language skills some rave this Sat night. (I'll be the nervous old guy standing in the corner trying to fit in)

Jokes aside I'm keeping that list, just in case some muggers try it on, I may be able to talk my way out of being jacked.

The frightening thing is I actually understood most of the words on that list :asta:

 

[fugilist]

Wow this thread as been an eye opener, is this what equal opportunities in Britain is all about ?

 

[nara]

Wow this thread as been an eye opener, is this what equal opportunities in Britain is all about ?

I think that needs a bit more explanation.:err:

 

[fugilist]

I feel a lot thats been said as gone under the radar, and no one as questioned or asked for further explanation of those posters. However posts on here smacks of intolerance on many levels.

Young people do have a way of speaking, but people learn from others if they are given the chance. Also if they see in someone a reason to change habits and behavior or are given the motivation they will change.

 

[Seedy_r0m]

Wow this thread as been an eye opener, is this what equal opportunities in Britain is all about ?

So does equal opportunities in your opinion mean that mentally deficient, or lazy individuals who can't be ar$ed learning the language of the country be on an even footing at securing a decent position as those who have made the effort of bettering themselves?

Britain needs its road sweepers & burger flippers as well.
There's a place for everyone, it's a perfect balance

And now we have elitist views ...

So how someone expresses them self is a measure of mental ability and that they are also lazy individuals. And you get this by sitting down in a 15 minute interview.

I've met a lot of mentally deficient people who speak great English and use it to blag their way through not only work but life itself.

It might not be a measure of mental ability, but it's a surefire indicator of intellectual laziness. I wouldn't need a fifteen minute interview to suss this out. Five minutes would be quite enough.

Today I have spent the best part 5 or six hours interviewing people for sales jobs in our company. We're trying to save a little money, so are hiring graduates who have just left university.

To say that the level of written and spoken English was bad would be a huge understatement. Out of the 20 odd candidates most were British with 2 candidates being from New Zealand and Canada. These two spoke the best English with readable writing to boot.

I really can't believe how poor the grammar was today. They can't spell, don't know what punctuation is and cant seem to do simple math in their head. We have the exact same sales positions in other countries such as India and South Africa (which many would deem to be third world) and the level of English abroad is vastly superior to what we practice here.

This isn't the first time I have come across such unworthy applicants, the general level of candidacy is very poor when you pitch a UK candidate vs someone from other parts of the world. I think this is real bad news in the long run as I feel our children are getting stupider by the day.

TBH I had a bit of a laugh with some of the candidates, geez some of them sounded like a cross between a dyslexic rapper and Paris Hilton. One guy in particular really made me laugh, he was white, from a reasonable area and a decent schooling background yet he spoke like he was from Jamaica :asta:

wat u on bout, don u no txt tlk in ur comp or sumthin.

think that how that line was surposed to go, I really dont know being 36 lol, but he is right at least I have a reaons for bad spelling and grammer, IM dyslexic or is it dysfunctional lol

I'm not sure if that's tongue in cheek or not, but i think it's worth a reply.

One of my sons is dyslexic(statemented). He has never used his dyslexia as an excuse and has never asked for it to be taken into an account in examinations. He now has a University degree because luckily he was born into the computer age with access to that wonderful tool, the 'Word' spelling and grammer checker.

I think your burger needs flipping m8.

The general British attitude towards children/teenagers is that they should be "seen and not heard" and so youngsters don't often get the opportunity build confidence in certain social situations. As a result of this, youngsters revert to talking in the manner they are used to and comfortable with which is that of their peers.
Like any other, communication is a skill that improves over time and that includes the language used.

Please remember that communication is a 2-way activity, and little in this topic has demonstrated an ability to listen to those with differing opinions, surely this is just 'the pot calling the kettle black'.

Intellectual laziness ! so someone just coming to the country who struggles to grasp the English language is intellectually lazy, even although they may possess two or three other languages. Whilst most Brits only speak the one.

I've seen foreigners looked down upon in the British work force just because they speak good English but can't rid themselves of the accent.

Like the last poster said its about communication, and to me its about investing in your young, looking past the rough exterior at time and seeing the substance and getting the best out of that person.

This post is still dodgy to me :FRIGHT:

 

[Seedy_r0m]

I've seen foreigners looked down upon in the British work force just because they speak good English but can't rid themselves of the accent.

The original poster has already acknowledged that the some foreigners have a greater command of the English language than the candidates he has seen eminating from these shores.

To say that the level of written and spoken English was bad would be a huge understatement. Out of the 20 odd candidates most were British with 2 candidates being from New Zealand and Canada. These two spoke the best English with readable writing to boot.

I really can't believe how poor the grammar was today. They can't spell, don't know what punctuation is and cant seem to do simple math in their head. We have the exact same sales positions in other countries such as India and South Africa (which many would deem to be third world) and the level of English abroad is vastly superior to what we practice here.

The problem is with people putting themselves forward for positions who think that "Teen Speek" will get them the position.

Or am I missing something here?

No. It's obvious that fugilist hasn't read the thread properly.
