I share your frustration; I often find that misspellings affect the validity I place on posts.

It’s not the misspellings which infuriate me it’s the non-use of the apostrophe to form possessive nouns, e.g. Forum’s instead of Forums.

She texted me: "Your adorable."
I replied: "No, YOU'RE adorable."

Now she loves me and all I did was point out her typo.

Wasn’t meant to be smug at all,it’s just a fact that we always seem to have a player whose name manages to cause mayhem with the posters ,I’ve plenty of time on my hands so I’ll go on the squad list to try and make sure I don’t mess up ,I could start another post with all the names over the years that we’ve tended to mess up but your only allowed one per post .
