  • Techspec, sorry for sidetracking, but why do you always write 'has' as 'as'? -I ask because a (Nigerian) work colleague of mine always did this, and it wasn't until it was pointed out to him that he realised that it was incorrect. They are very different words....

    I'm afraid its just one of the great mysteries of the world - like why you havn't got a life.

    I hope that as answered your question.

    P.s I do have some Nigerian relatives - although i didn't know this until they started emailing me.
  • Shame you feel the need to be rude to someone who was trying to be helpful.
    Never mind. Your karma.

    was to my eyes pretty condescending in pointing out a minor typo, so I'd say the response was pretty restrained :)

    I have no time for people who pull people up for spelling - sorry but its just sad. It happens on sports forums too. This is a money saving forum. If you want to talk about spelling - join an English language forum.

    I was top at English lit and language - but i, like most others - don't always care if i get my grammar right on a forum, or make a typo or spelling error. I bet your a right barrel of laughs when you receieve abreviated texts :rotfl:

    Anyway, now your offering to help, perhaps you can tell me - is it "High as a kite"? I don't want to get it wrong again.
  • I find this very interesting actually as over the years I've found an increasing number of people write 'as' instead of 'has' sad it may be but it winds me up a treat so nice to see someone actually asking the question!!

    That's a private seller with only 19 buyers who ever left DSR's. Now those stars are pretty awful but that's what happens to low volume private sellers if say 2 people out of that 19 left 1's or 2's.

    Show me a seller who sells say 100 items a month, with DSR's like that and I'll be interested. You'll struggle I think.
