Actually I do! (Although I would not have used your expletive, though I do care about the loss of good English grammar, spelling and syntax in contemporary written language.)

I do as well...I won't go into it now as that is a well flogged debate, nor is it in respect to an odd error here and there. If my children were to write like some of the threads I have read on forum's, they would get a wrap over the knuckles.

Also Chenz...apologies if I have offended...I was just having a stir....thought it was funny...but in a funny ha ha way. From one's mind to the internet...things can get lost in translation.

The stirs on me...well I will call them digs as we know there is zilch camaraderie there. If one of my mates popped on and poked fun, I would know where it was coming from. Would prefer if you lost the and the etc and just say you got owned..or had a crack at me...much more honest. Funnily enough, it is also only a one way path, but such is life,

P.S. I did however learn about "your" and "you're" ( and that be a genuine smile)

Actually, most of AULRO is pretty good. Lately I have been spending a bit of time on the Whirlpool forums - and have been somewhat taken aback by the number of posts where I have to spend some time trying to work out exactly what the poster was trying to say. (And they even have a thread entitled "English", currently on Pt.8 - they start a new thread part when a thread exceeds 50 pages.)

Some people seem not to realise that while they may know perfectly well what they were trying to say, the mis-spelled word, or grammatical lapse which they have glossed over makes their meaning far from obvious to others. And the only way you can avoid that sort of confusion is to at least try to write what you actually mean, using the same conventions as your readers. Most of the time, that means using standard English!

BTW, there's no apostrophe in "forum's" or "typo's"

Surely you mean "rap" over the knuckles. Just a stir Stevo, as I have no idea what else you're getting at. Also, notice no smileys this time.

Can I just start with a couple of these so there is no misunderstanding?

The only thing worse than someone making a mistake when they criticise someone else's spelling or grammar is someone who makes a mistake when they are criticising someone who is criticising someone who made a mistake.

Thats (that's) my point...which shouldn't be that hard to get ,

I hope this is taken in the spirirt you wanted your post to be taken.

Of course I realise that I will never hear the end of it if I have a mistake in this post.

It would be even worse to make a mistake when pointing out that someone has made a mistake pointing out that someone has made a mistake.

I bet you wish you could have attached one these or one of these to that "Thanks".
