Re: Grammar & Punctuation RUBBISH!!!
Whilst I would agree that a certain amount of intrinsic patronisation is prevalent among some of our more established sages, I believe this to be more an expression of mild exasperation in the face of genuinely illogical inanity than a conscious attempt to belittle the inquisitor with unprovoked verbal assassination............What!!!!!!!

Re: Grammar & Punctuation RUBBISH!!!
Things do get a little tricky when someone is asking a technical question with half a page of text and no punctuation or capital letters.

Re: Grammar & Punctuation RUBBISH!!!
So long as its clear what the contributor is saying - who cares if the SPAG isn't 100%.
For some people nothing is ever correct and it doesn't matter what it done - something will always be wrong.
Don't worry about it - just get on with enjoying yourself!
(Oh - btw I am Dyslexic and have worked very hard to make it difficult for people to tell)

Re: Grammar & Punctuation RUBBISH!!!
I'm unhappy about you being unhappy, although if I were HAPPY that
you were unhappy, I'd be unhappy that you'd be unhappy by me thinking
you being unhappy made me happy.
Being unhappy about someone being unhap.....Zzzz Zzzz

Re: Grammar & Punctuation RUBBISH!!!
I'm happy with your punctuation if that helps? You can praise a company, or be happy but you can't criticise a company, or be unhappy. New t&cs!
