I would say it admirably illustrates the argument for licencing internet access! >:)

after careful consideration i`ve decided against purchasing from him...he might not be able to spell my address 😛

PaulyT · Nov 25, 2008

You could always ask if you could collect it from his place - or offer to swap it for a book on punctuation and spelling. 😉
Isn't it a bit of an irony that this man comes from within 20 miles of where Shakespeare was born and raised? Thank God our educational system has moved out of the dark ages!!

I think it was Marcel Proost who holds the record for the worlds longest sentence, this guy comes in a close second!

Remarkable!The one that always bugs me is the ebay shop selling mettle mouthpieces- always cringe when I see that one...

Thought he could spell and I didnt see any description of the guitar what so ever apart from it being worth the money. No wonder he gets emails calling him an idiot I think that might be because he is an idiot :laugh:

Brilliant. Just imagine how awful that would read if it had been written by some idiot non-IT-professional...

BTW, for short url's go to http://tinyurl.com/
Paste the long url into the box, and they'll give you a short url.
Then paste that short one into your forum post.

Once upon a time there was a young Austrian chap who had a theory about selective breeding -

I sometimes wonder - not wishing to create a disturbance of the peace of course.

"Old blue eyes" she whispered whimsically . . .

IT professional? I wouldn't let him near anything more technical than a slide rule.

Look in the Forum support section, there's two ways to do it.

EDIT:

And of course you can fix it after you posted by using the EDIT function.

RULE NUMBER 2.
You must post in English and do your best to use correct spelling and grammar.

"Slide Rule"! Now that's showing your age. You have to have been born not later than 1960 to have had use of a slide rule in school, er, allegedly. 'Course, I wouldn't know being such young thing, such a vibrant thing... such a lying thing! :whistle:
