    you lot aren't half condescending at times on here.

    Colin, if you read his profile, suffers from ms, so could be finding it hard to type out properly. He was only asking a question, which any normal nice person would reply to.

    Colin, to get the measurements for glasses, you can look on the arm of a pair you feel fit correctly. It is normally quoted in a series of 3 numbers. Those being ( as on mine )

    50 lens diameter
    18 bridge width
    135 arm length

    if you are asked for your pupilary distance, then have a look on you tube to see how this is worked out.

    It annoys me on here that there seems to be a certain little 'clique' who decide that it is far more superior to slag someone off for their inability of spelling correctly, than to answer a reasonable question. There are reasons why some posts are badly spelt, someone could be dyslexic, they are typing on a mob phone, they are not as proficient at typing as others.

    It is not big, or not clever just to ' bully' someone over how they have presented their posts. It is not a school playground ladies and gents !

    By the same token there are a lot of posters who only use text speak and so forth. What's so hard about installing a spell checker? The Firefox one even picks bad use of lower case letters.

    Then of course there is the constant abuse of the common apostrophe.

    One thing we all share is the English language, why not use it properly?

    If you are nothing more than being the ' Word Police' on here, then you you must be living a very small and petty life, IMO
