    Before driving my Land Rover into the out-back to look at all the pretty floræ et faunæ I thowt it wyse to ensure the drive belt deflexion was within specification, but since it is automatically tensioned unlike its prædecessor, it become more of a phanaticiſm.
    Yep, I'll pay that, very clever.

    That would make it a topographical error!

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    I went to uni for 4 years to get a engineering degree, which was mainly maths and physics. So I have no doubt that I aint that good at english as I have never been interested by or studied it.

    How about I wont pick on you for not being good at maths and physics and you dont pick on me for being no good at english.

    It takes all sorts.

    Can we please stop being intolerant of others... bad spelling, poor grammer, bad choice of words etc...at the end of the day is it really that critical to your life?

    If so, get a life, or better still get in the Rover and get out and abouts!

    I've been watching this thread with interest.

    Just like Slunnie, I regularly type things incorrectly , spell fairly badly and regularly miss words, as my mind moves faster than my fingers.

    I think the majority of people here have been guilty of this at some time.

    Hoadie72, you suggest that this makes us either lazy, stupid or just don't care.

    I'm not sure how you can make that assumption based on nothing more than some incorrectly spelled words.

    It seems to me that the author may not have had the education opportunity most of us have, or quite possibly could have a learning difficulty like dyslexia.

    In these cases you idea of highlighting their errors with a button seems a little unreasonable.

    To get on here and carry on about the way people sell really makes me wonder about you motivation, are you genuinely trying to help someone, are you just trying to stir trouble.. or are you the one that's stupid?...

    Funny how what people write causes others to form an opinion.... whether it is justified or not hey?


    Now can we please get on with talking about Land Rovers?
