You continue to live up to your username by using no capitalisation or punctuation in your posts. That is, as BarbD said, lazy English.

Please click on Edit Post and make the relevant changes, following these rules of written English:

- Start every sentence with a capital letter.
- End every sentence with a single, appropriate punctuation mar.
- Always capitalise the word "I".
- Always capitalise proper nouns (English, Chris, Shakespeare).
- Do not put a space before a full stop, comma, question mark or exclamation mark.
- Always put a space after a full stop, comma, question mark or exclamation mark.

As far as I am aware, with the exception of capitalising the first person singular, those rules are the same in written French.

Also, once all that's done, if you do have a question, please ask it.

I'm not sure why you've come here if you want to speak bad, barely comprehensible English. I'm sure you can do that already, and it's not really what we do here.
But no, "this, those and these" don't lose their "th" in even the worst of speakers.
If you need a simple rule for "th": If a word starts with 'th', pronounce it.

Thank you.

Punctuation rules in English are very similar to those in French with regards to commas and full stops. Can you write properly in French?

1. When in doubt, keep the th. No one says 'ese or 'ose!

2. The folks above are right. You are not writing a text message to a friend. You are writing to a post to public forum. Capitals and punctuation are needed - especially at public forum dedicated to good English!

You're welcome!
