    If you were in a Chinese brothel with the curtains on fire, would you take a punt and head for the Eczit or remain rooted to spot by your principles?

    More likely down!

    The best is always the smart bottom who manages to make a silly typographical* error when pointing out the deficiencies of others.

    Less/fewer is annoying to me two. As is two/to/too and there/they're/their.

    C'mon, it's not to hard shurely?


    *Typographical as opposed to typo used in deference to Mewbie.

    Well spotted sir :T That was my deliberate :D honest :cool:

    Oh I'd be more than happy to then use said "Eczit" sign to beat out the flames. After all, it needs replacing.

    It's the lowest form of argument on forums to 'pick' on someones grammar, I can't be @rsed to look but I bet if I looked through your 50 posts, I would indeed find some grammatical errors. It's not big and it's not clever.

    What on earth are you posting about? My post had nothing to do with grammar , which is defined as "The study of how words and their component parts combine to form sentences".

    I simply corrected a spelling mistake, which has as much to do with grammar , as you have to do with intelligence!
