Theres been loads of stuff on here about speling police recently (who i generally support), but i would like to say thanks to everyone for not being arsey about typos- I type at ten to the dozen, and going back and corecting every typo could be really annoying- especially when it doesn't actually affect what is being written.

So thatnks to everyone for putting up with my typos- i have left a liberal sprinkling in my last few posts (and this one)!

I actually have typing dyslexia or something.
I don't just mean bad at typing. I mean when typing I spell words completely incorrectly and looking back over my post I think "how did I make those mistakes when I know how wrong they are"
I mean the thick mistakes. The "Thier/there" mistakes and the "Your thick" mistake.
It is absolutely bizarre

yes With you on that one. I checked something the other day and I'd posted "your" instead of "you're".

I blame it on reading too many posts in this place. The same as typos you don't spot when err, typing, nor on preview, but as soon as you read the post on the thread they stick out straight away.
