Come on Benoz, I gave you Jon's name as lower case as well so you had something easier to pick on

Yeah I thought that one might have been a gift!

I agree with Morris about the spelling though, some attempt is nice but our education system seems to be producing graduates who cannot spell and are functionally inummerate.

I was wondering about that one Doc, both seem to be in current usage although mine I suspect is incorrect. I don't mind if people can't spell the more difficult words, its when they don't bother with the easy ones.

:P

I'm not fussed because if the post is too hard to read or understand, I just gloss over it and move on.

I'm like this too, when you read alot of posts per day you don't want to have to really think about what is being said. I generally only look over those posts for swearing and then move on. If people can't even write somewhat proper english then I just won't be bothered answering.

They will learn eventually when their threads get very few answers from members.
