Their are a few people on hear who appear two have sum problems with they're spelling. Of coarse may be their just all ways in to much of a hurry too spell cheque and proof reed. And I am knot saying that won should ewes the Queens english (or the Prezident's American(?) (buy the whey, that is how its spelled isn't it, Americans' right zed were inn British English its Ann s?) I four won can bee the worst of spellers especially when inn a hurry, butt their our people on hear who teach English who continually make (the same) silly spelling mist takes and errors of grammatic.

On another note, I come here when I need info on something or other but it's so very tiring (tho sometimes amusing for a while) when threads are derailed by personal grudges or hijacked by the elitist preaching from their pulpits. There IS so much useful information on this site but I'm sure many ppl can be put off or simply can't find it coz sometimes it's hidden under pages of bickering. Yeah, I know...I'm not the first to say this and I won't be the last.

Btw, kudos to those who regularly participate in this forum without engaging in petty disputes. Ideally I'd love to post here too coz I love to write and I've been teaching in China for a year, but a while back I left a site I was blogging on coz of the constant quarreling and I don't want to be avoiding that kind of crossfire again.

Now really Nathan, I don't think that anyone can honestly claim that my little post is preaching from the pulpit
