    Well, the most glaring mistake is the use of an apostrophe. :roll:

    Grammar is something you’re taught at a very early age. It’s hardly rocket science.

    … And I wouldn’t even mind, you hardly have a perfect record on this kinda thing Telstar.
    None of us do.
    Oh and if you wish to go down the road of STRICT linguistics, it’s not grammar you are choosing to scrutinise here, it’s PUNCTUATION.
    So your utter plankery is doubly compounded.

    Now.. go suck a duck! :P

    If poor grammar arises from bad punctuation do you criticise the punctuation and ignore the grammar or point out both?
