(this could be re-written where the whole thing becomes a game show. eg.
do you want to stay with the minor work permit or gamble for our star prize of a uk passport? etc.)

It's a simple idea over extended, and the punchline is kinda weak. I'd give it a full work over, to get it to work.

I just wish people would bother to proof read their sketches.

If you don't care about it why should I.

Because some of us find spelling hard, and some of us are dyslexic.

Also if all your doing is seeking out a little peer evaluation, spelling is not the be all and end all.

Especially as none of us are ever going to produce the stuff.

Come on KJ give your opinion, it's the least you can do.

Hello Edgar.
I am no spell master myself, so dont worry too much on that score.
The sketch needs some zing. A little something fizzy. Other than that it is fine.

No... The least I can do is not read past first three grammar and spelling mistakes.

Sorry, it's a personal thing, if people would like their sketches read and commented on the least they can do is run them through a spell checker and apply some basic punctuation.

i'm shure its a marvelus sketch. i just am not going to reed it.

Then he needs to use something like google's spell checker even more. as long as he's not colour blind too he'd notice all the worlds turning red!

Sorry but the forum rules do ask that contributors make some effort on spelling and grammar. Yes, we all make typo errors but how can anyone defend or excuse poor spelling (and in this case consistently poor) in a world where free spellcheckers exist?

KJS is IMO right in that respect. Personally, I hit the first few errors, skimmed and saw more, and gave up. KJS is also right from the point of view of the forum rules.

Please Degas help us by at least spell checking first

KJS and SlagA are spot on. Rules is rules, and if there weren't any rules then where would we be? FRANCE!

(And exactly right; if you don't respect your work enough to check spellings et. al, why should anyone else bother reading and evaluating it?)

Wot KJS sed.

What if he was a colour blind dyslexic with only 2 fingers & one hand. Are you all going to be mean still?

No... because they're probably already writing on Teenage Kicks.
