Okay, this is a bit of a cheap shot considering it was sent in by a contributor - who, for all accounts and purposes is just a mum or dad sending in the results for the children's soccer teams - but some of the spelling mistakes in this were bad enough to move me to action.
The following has been unedited by me. Note the double 'm' in coming, the brilliant way the writer spells 'penalty shootout' and the lack of space between "verygood" and "Bayswaterand". Also note how long the first sentence is.
You have been warned. If you're put off by the great big dirty block of text that it is - well think about the person who has to edit it for the newspaper....

AND there's three full stops in the entire document. Awesome.
I think no matter who you are you should be dreadfully ashamed of that effort. Grammar and spelling has gone to the dogs. We mourn you.
I'm starting a list of Grammar Terrorists, similar to Hell's banned list. These people need to be named and shamed.
When I used to take the baby pics in Collie we had a form for the parents to fill out. It was necessary for them to fill out the form because asking a mother who the father is can sometimes put her in an uncomfortable position. Anyways, the new dads would often be just chuffed that they could contribute something to the blessed event and would leap at the chance to fill out the form. But then they'd have to ask their girlfriend/wife how to spell their sister's name "Olivia". It would have almost been cute to watch them gripping the pen so tight, tongue in the corner of their mouths with the concentration - if they were 7 years old that is.
