Yes, that's right children. Too long have these forums been abused by people who;

a) can't type properly
b) can't spell properly
c) can't punctuate properly
d) can't be bothered to express themselves properly in the Queen's English.

No longer. From hence forth, I say we fight against these cretins. Now is the time to stand up for the English language - stand and be counted!!

Without consistent use of proper spelling and grammar, the english language will soon be about as widespread as Welsh. Fear!!

Sass it. (Plays tune from Shaft)

Oh, well sorry then. My spontaneous, and somewhat undeserved remark at your use of Proper English clouded my judgement of what is the realistic truth, you DO use Proper English, and must be applauded for your dignified attempts at smartening the SR forums up.
