Before Mr. Spelling Police arrives, I advise that you edit the highlighted section of your post.
Thanks Abdullah, I'm on it. If someone wants to call me a stupid speller I can't argue!

Turn spell check on. Or off. Whichever is causing the problem.

May I remind you that after a long and faithful service time the spelling cop has retired.

What was that number that journalists used to use to end their writing with? 30 if I recall. So numbers in writing had a long and hallowed history.

30.

I don't know about that. I do know that 42 is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything.

It's actually 42 + tax.

With the marked tendency on this forum for one worded replies etc, I predict that words and even sentences will cease before much longer.

Some will submit a pic and nothing else.

Those who wish to respond will only do so with a pre coded letter or number that has a pre agreed meaning throughout the forum. Thus

1a = great
1b = v great
1c = vv great

2a = awesome
2b = v awesome
2c = vv awesome

gir = get it repaired
bifatb = buy it from a trusted buyer

and so it will go on.

I of course will not be around for much longer because the Mods will declare that I am too wordy and will ban me.

Regards

Mick

That's already taken. It's at the one o'clock position on a Roman dial.

so, with the OP's permission and for all those concerned, may i suggest that we move on?


It will run it's course and soon be forgotten about. No worries.
