English teaching?

    There is a discussion between two people trained as English teachers in another thread on this forum. I cannot comment on the thread as it would take it off topic, but I am rather alarmed by the English being used.

    There are examples of the misuse of 'your' and 'you're', 'of' and 'off', and one of those strange inventions where two words are run together - 'incase'.
    ...the subjects everyone complains about there being too many graduates off, even the teaching council :( I'm lucky with my second is a language...
    Should anyone who would use this baffling sentence be surprised that they cannot get a job teaching English?

    Even allowing for the casual nature of discussion on a message board, it is worrying to think that these are potential (or actual) teachers.

    This thread isn't going to go anywhere good and in any case, it's against the charter to comment on the spelling and grammar of other posters.
