No, no flaming for grumpiness but loads of flaming for incorrect spelling & grammar in a post complaining about the same!:p Like a space before commas as well as (or instead of) after them :D

But on a non-pi$$-taking note, I totally agree with you; especially people who can spell a word correctly in one part of a post then don't in another, people who don't seem to know what capitalisation is (or their shift key is stuck) and people who can't remember what punctuation is. Classic "finger slip" is acceptable however, e.g. extra letters added due to two keys being hit at the same time, or two letters being reversed due to uber-fast typing.

I never went on to oxford to study the queens own english, and i even consider myself as a fluent flaunter of slang in casual conversation, but why the hell must people miss-spell the simplest of words and even end up gramatically incorrect, these forums are based on peoples ability to read and spell correctly , seeing as we dont verbally converse ,the spelling of our conversations are paramount to our understanding of what we are bloody saying / selling / moaning about :)rolleyes: )
Sorry, i just had to get that off my chest

Grumpy pr**k na
You're getting flamed because your writing skills suck more than the people you're complaining about.
Your paragraph above contains spelling mistakes, gaps before comma, missing apostrophes, lowercase where there should be uppercase and not one full stop. That makes it one hell of a long sentence :p

Anyway, I don't think God is a member of these forums so he's not likely to read this. :)
Shhhh!! His forum alias begins with 'R' and ends in 'obbo', I'll let you fill in the blanks.

But he's omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent. So watch out. :eek:
