I think we should support these unfortunates rather than castigating them for thier weaknesses.

Indeed, castigation sounds most unpleasant.
Mind you, I'm not sure we should allow the user's spelling to continue to slide like this.. (and from a man of your qualifications  )

Perhaps you should consider where the missing apostrophe needs to be placed in that sentence? 

Slippery slope indeed  It has to be said, and I know from bitter experience, if you're going to write about spelling or punctuation, that's when you will invariably make a spelling and/or punctuation mistake. damhikijkok.

lol, the curse of computers. You correct your error once, fail to save it, change the document again and retain the original error.. 
Ah well, we're still considerably better than many of the near unintelligible txt spk 4ums which I come across!

Actually, I think the standard of writing (and thought) on this forum is very high... unless we start on the knob and cross-dressing jokes, then it plummets alarmingly

[guest27]

So I take it I am not welcome then..

I cannot spell

I have a V4 2-Stroke (in bits)

My big single has 4-V

My 2-V single is a 125

They are all in bits

I have no idea where the missing apostrophe goes.

I do not have a cross-dressing knob.

Move over Boyd seems there are two for the pyre.

Shall I bring my own faggots - or are there gay clubs in Derby?

No, but elsewhere on this site you do state that you own a victorian lace maid's outfit...

Well I have a non running petrol landy, access to swmbo's boring (but very efficient and useful) diesel car, a multivalve watercooled single in for mot now, an aircooled multivalve single awaiting mot (should even pass  ), a two valve 125 which arrived in bits andhas never run and a two smoke 125 which arrived running and is now in boxes... various other mechanical bits all over, a '67 Imp Sport quietly rotting in a lockup awaiting time/attention/money and we wont even talk about the wooden dinghy or the bicycles.....
Further, my spelling is variable and my grammar often questionable, my dressing up in uniforms is a personal matter and I can give up sidecars (and indeed STUPID winter rallies) anytime I want.... honest...

...and I feel that I am amongst understanding company on this forum     

[guest7]

Talking of Imps, what would a driveshaft coupling* (brand new in sealed bag) be worth on Ebay, iyho?

GC

* big rubber doughnut thingy

[guest18]

Driveshaft Doughnuts as they are known to the cognescenti 

Well after a swift search Speedy Spares are knocking them out for £25 new.
On eblag with misspellings and "RARE!!!!!!!!" in font 300 on the advert and who knows

Ahh but as you know Che Rog is a Victorian vicarage (not that posh vicars in Wales were a poor lot compared to their English brethren) thus we need a Victorian maid - hence the apron.  Mind a woman of 145 years wearing nowt but a lace apron is not an image to be toyed with.
