Okay, so it seems some of these apps on facebook, although they have, once allowed by us, full access to our profiles, are unable to ascertain if we are male or female.

The result is the ubiquitous and indeed ugly use of the possessive adjective their.

A shame then that the app Question Time has chosen to use the adverb there instead.

Oh, and having now seen the access page, to which I declined, I wonder if you can spot the other errors:

Allowing Question Time access will let it access your Profile information, photos, your friends’ info and other content that it requires to work.

Question Time

Answer Yes/No Question’s About Your Friend’s.

Is it any wonder that young people these days have problems using simple elements of the English language when even facebook apps can’t get it right? (Or is that ‘write’?)

Whilst I applaud the developer in being able to write a facebook application – I know I certainly couldn’t – surely she has a duty to ensure the correct usage of the English language?

Failing that, surely the people behind facebook have a responsibility in checking these apps before they are unleashed? (According to the reviews, this app is basically spamming and doesn’t even work properly anyway!)

Amirite? or shood I just giv up an just except that the use of propper english in print (electronick or otherwize) has no rellevence any moor?
