Now i know we are defenders of good grammar and spelling on here.How about fining people that have there adverts littered with spelling errors? I would suggest £5 a word with money going to the British Legion and Help for Heroes.Anyone unwilling to pay for the corrections gets their advert pulled?

You're joking right? It doesn't matter if spelling or gramer is right or not. It would be very unfair to fine people, and I think PistonHeads would get a very bad name.
