    You really need to get out more!

    Personally, I'm a fussy mare who notices every mistake, but don't feel it's my place to correct anyone (haven't yet met a forum member asking for advice with their spelling). Lots of other mistakes made regularly on this forum. Guess you have to live with it, or go join a 'spelling and grammar' forum.

    :D

    Scary how many people get fundamental things like this wrong isn't it. I genuinely think you'd find it difficult to find a primary school who confuses 'brought' with 'bought'. :)


    Try looking at graduate posts.

    The one that gets me is the amount of landlords that cannot spell tenent.

    I got a real bargain off ebay a while back on something that was listed as a 'Chester Draw'.

    I'm thrilled to find there's a bunch of pedants and grammar police here - makes me feel quite at home!
    I have to sit on my hands to prevent me from correcting some of the howlers - even though I suspect I've made my fair share of them.

    :D

    Hahaha I actually hadn't realised how annoying that has been until you pointed it out. My inner zen has returned!
