Does anybody else worry that eventually, seeing the same mistakes so often, one will without noticing start to make the same mistakes.
Like putting commas in the wrong part of a sentence and leaving them out from where they should be?

I think it is very sad to moan about spelling on a car forum.
Be thankful they are posting examples in here, and not the forums where the mistakes are.

Pedantry posting for the sake of it, bereft of any specific input to a thead topic, can be a tad tedious sometimes.

Plus, having all the pedants here in one place means we know who they are, and can keep a special eye on their spelling and grammar. wink

You have to remember PH is not just about cars. It is a broad church, my friend.

From gays and lesbians to scale modellers and MX5 owners, they are all welcome. Should we really exclude the Spelling Police?

First they came for the Jews..

As many others have said i your not happy and earning such little money, change now while you can, 25 is not too old. I'm an electrician and have just complete my C&G 2391 inspection and testing, which now allows me too sign off my own work. I'm 28 in August and decided at 22 that i really needed to get a carrer that would give me opportunities so i decieded to train as an electritian.

If you want any advice i'd be happy to help as i've just been through the whole college process over the last few years. :thumbs:

Just drop me a PM and ask away!!
