Sheffield's quite nice - the city centre is a dump but it has really nice suburbs bordering the Peak District and has a lot of students. It's often dubbed Britain's largest village due to its picturesque setting.

Is Rotherham crap or nice? The person I'm talking about lived in Rotherham.

I've been reading English since I was 9, and continued that at the Uni. And still it's broken. FOREIGNOR, wtf? How bad is the British schooling system, and what criteria are there? Unbelievable.
Because when native speakers write they hear the sounds of the words in their heads when they type. People who learn English as a second language learn writing at the same time as speaking, and think of the written spellings more.

I switch "your" and "you're" sometimes when typing fast, but I do know which is correct.

I certainly wasn't taught the Queen's English, nor would I ever want to.
