Just out of interest, how many people are using the forums Spell Check facility before posting?

I often forget to use it, but on the times I do remember I find I have always got some errors in my text.

Don't wish to be anal, but there should be an apostrophe in "forum's" indicating the singular possessive use of the word forum.

Smiley

Maybe there should be a punctuation checker as well. Smiley

And no, i don't use the forum's spell checker. Not because i'm a smart arse, but because i was too dim to notice that there was one. Huh


I think i might have set myself up for some abuse here. Grin Grin Grin

Probably should use a capital 'I' when referring to yourself.  Wink
