Clearly the horse that wrote these Ten Commandments got a Grade A* GCSE in English judging by commandments seven and eight. The modern trend for writing English as it might be spoken is just an excuse for lax teaching. The race to dumb down education to make each year’s pupils look better educated than the last probably explains why so many employers complain about unemployable young people who lack skills at anything but SMS and Xbox (other video consoles are available).
Strictly speaking they should not be using don’t, can’t and I’ll or other contractions in written English, but I am guilty of the odd lapse in that respect myself. That is probably why I only got a Grade B at English under the old GCE O-Level system.
Curiously there is no mention of glue or dog food factories and dining in French restaurants...
