OK - I give up - spelling has to be ignored and put down to exuberant typos :D :p

There's enough work on the forum for an army of pedants - my own mistakes included ;) :)) :))

But grammar is still fair game :ymdevil: :ymdevil:

one of my most regular mistooks - that one and "toady" instead of "today"

my boss's PA, upon receiving one of my memos, used to circle all my typos with a red pen and send the memo back =))

she was crumpet though, so i never complained :ymblushing:
