I have a theory that seeing typed text adds authenticity and formality to it, which legitimises the errors and ensures that they are replicated.

Actually this is interesting cos you could argue that goodness has an apostophe after is because it is possessive ie sake is of goodness...it is goodness his sake.

So. For goodness' sake.

Or I might just leave quietly.

I correct some things before posting, for example I try to make sure what I have written reads okay. The odd misspelt / auto corrected word / lack of comma is hardly going to bring the forums to a grinding halt.

I may have poured myself a far too large homemade orange vodka.

Bearing in mind my spellchecker and I rarely see eye to eye when I'm sober, please cut me some slack tonight.

If it helps, I fond reading badloo spilt posts on the voice of the policeman in 'Allo 'Allo, helps somewhat.

The problem with all grammar Nazi is that they forget that language had to evolve to get to where we are now. It hasn't stopped evolving and never will.

It's very difficult to be crap at spelling and punctuation with a Windows Phone. Practically writes for you.
