    "aks" is generational I think.

    Everyone under the age of 22 in London seems to want to speak like they were born in Jamaica and raised in New Delhi.

    This is about as far away from the truth as is possible , I will correct it for you



    its "disappeared" by the way.

    If you're going to get snippy then you might consider your own case. Capital letters at the beginning of a sentence. Full stop at the end. If you need to use other punctuation then do not leave a space between it and the words either side. So 'possible ,' is wrong whereas 'possible,' is correct. Also, you appear to be confused about whether to use a sentence or a clause. I'd recommend some further reading on this subject.

    Happy to help. :rotfl:

    Can we get back to talking about house prices, the economy and recession now? :D

    I'm sorry you are so anally retentive , however, I am sure that even you can understand the difference between a word spelt so poorly that it makes no sense and a missing comma.

    Crawl back under your stone please. TIA.

    If you dish it out you have to be prepared to take it.

    Whilst I am on your side on the correction of the spelling it was hardly spelt so poorly that it made no sense.

    Stop being so precious.

    :cool:
