    Another proper England rant...

    Come on peoples....say what you mean & mean what you say. Being correct in your use of capitals, spelling & punctuation makes all the difference to the reader.
    eg: - Proper capitalization is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse, and helping your uncle jack off a horse...(thanks Disco Stu)
    My pet hate is the your you're thing. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME MEANING.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Damn right. People may have something of value to contribute, but if it's a mish mash of lower case text speak I quickly lose interest.

    Just wait until Mr. Hitcher does get here...... Until then, I bet there will be a few taking the piss. Aye Scoots Magoo (aka OMGWTFBBQ)
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    Ha ha ha. I saw a great episode of "Grumpy Old Men" on UKTV over Xmas. Tony Hawks (he of Morris Major and the Minors fame) was complaining about why "Earl's Court" has the apostrophe and "Barons Court" does not.

    He wrote a letter to red Ken and got a three page letter back with meticulously mis-used apostrophes throughout!

    That should be "hear, hear..."

    Just because a word sounds the same doesn't mean it is:

    Here/hair/hear
