I'm not sure it's politically correct to make fun of spelling errors, made by someone who recently divulged their Dyslexia diagnosis. :roll: :roll: :roll:

I was thinking that myself. :shock:

If we were to discuss the grammar, spelling, punctuation, use of capitals etc. on all the postings on here it would keep us going all day. :roll:

indeed.

following some private messages recently received i would like to clarify the following-

i was not aware of anyone who had "recently divulged their Dyslexia diagnosis". neither has it been made clear in any of his/her posts that i have seen.

none the less a correction of grammer was all that i posted. no malicious intent or jokes were made. just an observation. many people on here post spelling mistakes and that's in addition to the over the top internet "toon dialect" that some people post with on here- as a Campbeltonian i don't even understand it- how are non-locals supposed to??!?

none the less i will post accordingly.

cheers, nomad

Nomad - small observation if I may? If you're going to correct someone's grammer, at least have the decency to spell grammar correctly. :wink:

Houses, glass, stones, throw - rearrange the words into a well known phrase :oops:
