@hartfire "languageonschools"

On schools? Not in schools?

it's probably a typing error as the I and O live next to each other on the standard keyboard, but hardly good English! :-)
@ArishMell Sorry - I accept the website spelling looks wrong, but that is exactly how the site labels itself.
My best guess is that the site designer thought a funky spelling might have more appeal to kids.
Since kids have adopted their own codes for text messaging, all kinds of weird spellings and substitutions seem to have become commonplace.
I wouldn't normally have recommended a kids' educational site, but it was complete and comprehensive; no other site was better.

@hartfire Interesting point. I must admit I'd not thought of that, having no teenage children to try to translate!

It did make me think of a peculiar piece of, probably, teenagers' slang, I have seen a few times on here and elsewhere. This is the meaningless "on" after the word "hate" or "love".
