ok i do suck at spelling :eek: , what i ment by (forget how to spell) is remembering how to spell the words ,so i will take more care into my spelling seeing how mutch of an isue it has been thaks :)
Jay responded to this with an appropriate 'cool', I am gonna go one step further and suggest it took bollocks to write what you wrote and put your hands up ..because...that's the first step to putting it right.

It couldn't have been easy to just admit you are cr@p at spelling and I respect you for that, and I also respect the fact your skill base lay elsewhere, and in your case, this happens to be in engineering.

I just wanna maybe explain why your post elicited such a reaction, it's due to the fact, all the mods are old, me especially, when we left school, it would have been nigh on impossible for any of us to leave without being able to spell. ..it just didn't happen.
I'm so old the books I read were on papyrus but when i left school, I could spell pretty well.

And so, when somebody posts and their spelling is bad, and trust me burnzy, you ain't the only one by a long chalk mate, the mods and a lot of the members tend to react because we see it as laziness.

I realise this may not be the case with you but we have had hundreds of posts like yours normally accompanied with a default defence of being dyslexic, which in itself become thoroughly tiresome to read.
Anyways, I don't wanna offend you in any way mate, I just wanted to give you another perspective to all this.

I myself am really poor at spelling, if you currently use fire fox as your internet browser, it has a built in spell checker, that can be very handy.
Any words you spell wrong are highlighted with a red line underneath, then at the end of writing your post you can go back and correct them.

Ok apart from the spelling competition taking place i would like to add that i believe paintball, like inline skating or skateboarding, is an extreme sport. Its deffinately a sport but should be classified as an extreme sport and instead of thinking (as stated above i believe) about the olympics we should have our goal as the X-games.......anyone agree ? :)
