Re: grammer and spelling police
Its all about formatting. Normally the filter would get it, the Mods don't do the **** , they are automatic.
And don't worry, I already know I'm ****in useless, my boss keeps pointing it out to me

Re: grammer and spelling police
For the most part I never comment on people's grammar as long as I can read and more or less understand what they're talking about.
I will however correct someone's grammar if they've been busy telling off another poster and their own message has a mistake in it. If you're going to start correcting someone then you're own grammar had better be perfect.

Grammar and spelling doesn't bother me in the slightest, just annoys me when people moan that Australians are dumb and uneducated yet they themselves can barely write a sentence without spelling mistakes.

Re: grammer and spelling police
I make it a rule to try and not point out bad grammer UNLESS the bad grammer is in a post specifically attempting to correct spelling or grammer.
Having said that - my opinion of a poster and the credibility of any information within any post is severely let down by any serious (primary school) grammatical flaws.
(Note: I make a huge distinction between typing errors - which are in my opinion understandable and excusable - and grammatical errors that just show poor educational standards)

Their love .
I've only just got it, you can't nick it off me so soon. I'll share it with you. You can flash the badge at people for the first half of the week and I'll do it the other half. We can be like Cagney and Lacey
