If u r talking the standard of juniors on a saturday you're right, it may be the start of the season but there are so many teams I've watched that just can't play.
Simple things like playing D

Almost every one that posts on this forum can take the time to construct proper sentences, and take the time to actually spell correctly, or use only commonly accepted abbreviations.

Maybe it's you that needs to get a life spelchek

Have a nice day :-)

Spelcheck,

(I can't believe I am posting on this discussion but...) I agree with spelling on forums like this, not overly important. However, a piece of advice for you. Don't kid yourself; there still is a need to be able to contruct a sentence and spell reasonably well. I employ many people including engineers. Many resumes are received and these are the documents first selling yourself to a business. In my opinion, as an employer and not a career guidance officer, poor spelling and grammar does not put a person in the best light to stand out from other applicants.

Now back to basketball!

MW,
I said it was ok in forums. Actually I typed it wrong, not spelt it wrong. Where is that secretary when you need her!

why does a secretary have to be female?

and I totally agree not only does spelling and good grammar make it easier to read, it does help get your message across. we can all make the mistake of form instead of from in our haste to post before bosses catch us:)

it is an important life skill communication - all the best people have it

Yes, posts need to be easily read
But
Delicatessen mixed up his A and T

He asked what I thought was a fairly simple question.

Anyone who wants to talk spelling go find a spelling forum
THIS IS A BASKETBALL FORUM!!!!

Spelchek,

By replying to delicatesen's post I was not having a dig at him/her. My point was that I did not understand where the post was going. Read it again:

"Tell im if im wrong but i think each year the satndard is getting worse and worse."

I read it and had no idea what it was about. The standard of the NBL, NBA, forum, umpires, what???

That's why I replied what I did. Relax, Spelchek.

So we've established spelling standards have dropped.

I have this problem at the start of every season - I go OMG my X team I played or coached in would have KICKED those guys arses last year who are playing in our X grade.

But I'm comparing my team which made a grand final after a year of learning and improving to bottom age kids or teams who havent played before who have just come into teh grade. I think you'll find by Winter time they'll have caught up, our results in classics etc will be the same as usual, and it will be all good!
