Thankyou for your support, Terry, we must stick together. I feel like the famous Eddy the Eagle must have at the ski launch at the Winter Olympics. But I admit I wouldn't be able to have overused emoticons and spam so efficiantly if it wasn't for this blistering paced new server/webspace.
Cheers.

Drives ya nuts dont it.

hi Ken, yep , we are on the same page here, i'm not saying I'm perfect 'hey look at me I can use the correct word for advice in a sentence' but I see this mistake nearly everyday in thread title's - I was just making the point that 'i'm as mad as hell and not going to take it anymore' only joking

[fringe_dweller]

your damn good at this Ken, hmmmm you sure your not one of us!

I fear the word advise is so often misused now, that it has become endemic and entrenched as the correct word, as a result.
I think it was the three million spam emails that misused the word in the title that got to me as well - I mean that annoys me that those scammers in nigeria or where ever they are, if they are trying to ripp off your life savings at least they could is use the spell checker!

[ballaratdragons (Ken)]

I'm with you!

[RAJAH235]

Hey Kearn, do you have a glitchy keyboard or just an gl/itchy trigger finger?

if they are trying to ripp off

Sorry to be so...............ummmmm......Now what is that word?... ......... L.

'your damn good at this Ken, hmmmm you sure your not one of us!'

^^ That seems to be a question rather than a statement, as such it will need a '?' on the end of it. One can't be TOO pedantic about this..

[asimov (John)]

[RAJAH235]

Hey, asiiconloser. Yas gotta use CAPS, maaaate..... L.
ps. I'm glad this is in the correct forum????? I think...

[asimov (John)]

Bugga!

[ballaratdragons (Ken)]

Geeez, even the smilies are 'Case Senstive!'

Is that a 'Grammatical' or 'Spelling' error?

Thou hast to waketh early in the morn to be at thy fullest of forebearing in thee usage of Queens English.

Nay, one can neither be of a Knaves impudence, nor of a Maidens tongue!

Thou must be warest of thy speech henceforth.

Thou hast been warned in the full measure!!!

Nope! I'm armed & dangerous now, watch out!

[fringe_dweller]

yes it was a glitch Laurie,

you guys are going to have to fight the good fight and spam on without me I'm afraid, going to sleep now, taking my dictionary and thesaurus and going to bed, tomorrows another day for the never ending fight against the bad/lazy spellers of the world, and launching tirades..so look out, the eyes of texas are upon you!
