Uuuh! Where? I see no explanation.




Look again. It's clearly there.

You are giving equal importance to the grammar in both mediums (forum
and finished art). Is that right? Is that fair?




Remember that it wasn't me that raised the issue of your bad spelling in the first place and that I've said that I'm not hugely bothered by occasional spelling mistakes in posts. However, where someone continually misspells words, I think it does show a lack of respect on their part for their audience (especially if they've indicated that they could ensure there were no mistakes if they wanted to), and I do find it hard to take seriously any comments they might make on English grammar. Is that fair? Yes, I think so.

Are you classing design in with science?




Come on! You're not serious are you? You couldn't really have so badly misconstrued my comment, could you? (If you truly did, try rereading it slowly and carefully.)

Let's try the one above, the significance of my spelling mistakes on a
forum as compared to a finished work of art.




I said "questions ... that I haven't answered". I've answered that in posts 22, 60, and 93. As well, Herb commented on the subject in post 9, Heather in post 30, and Neil in post 94. I'm sorry that you don't understand the point that has been repeatedly made, but the fact that you don't does not mean that the question hasn't been answered. So, are there any actual questions of yours that I haven't answered that you do want me to answer?

The 'halfords' logo gives the impression to me that the service I'll get
there is likely to be not particularly accurate.




At least you're admitting that "Halfords" and "halfords" do convey different impressions to people, and the impression that is conveyed to the target market is what matters to the board or CEO. And Halfords may well not be looking to types such as Richard Archer-Jones as its target market - it may very well be aiming at a more brand-savvy, less formal, younger group, and Mr Archer-Jones's custom (or dislike of the logo) is of no concern to it.

The english language is designed to confuse.




Shouldn't that be "English", Richard?
