    Who is the kind person who corrects mistakes and highlights things on the Forum?

    Just wanted to say thanks, as I'm often rushing my posts, so whoever edits them to read better, thank you.

    Funny you should say that, Les. Sometimes I see my posts better looking than I'd thought I had typed them, but I am a sod for not looking at what I'm writing till it's posted.

    Only mods and admins can edit posts. Usually, Keith and I would edit thread titles which are spelled wrong so the members can understand it clearly. Mods can also do the same.

    When I use my phone that is when you see how bad my spelling really is!

    Ah ... I'm fortunate there too, in that my desktop also has an inbuilt facility which underlines misspelt words in red!

    Eye have a spelling chequer,
    It came with my Pea Sea.
    It plane lee marks four my revue
    Miss Steaks I can knot sea.

    Eye strike the quays and type a whirred
    And weight four it two say
    Weather eye am write oar wrong
    It tells me straight a weigh.

    Eye ran this poem threw it,
    Your shore real glad two no.
    Its vary polished in its weigh.
    My chequer tolled me sew.

    A chequer is a bless thing,
    It freeze yew lodes of thyme.
    It helps me right all stiles of righting,
    And aides me when eye rime.

    Each frays come posed up on my screen
    Eye trussed too bee a joule.
    The chequer pours o'er every word
    Two cheque sum spelling rule.

    Apart from which ... ... I tend to make a point of checking all my posts for inaccuracies of ANY sort before submitting them in the first place.

    Well someone isn't doing their job properly . One of my recent thread titles has a spelling mistake in it even though the word next to it was altered.

    Warrants a written warning I reckon for whoever is responsible!

    I bet that took a lot longer to type it this way than the proper way.
