Misses a full stop, or a line break.

I think you a grammatical error there.

Honestly I think if you're going to pull people up on grammar/spelling errors you really need to do yourself a favour and not have the same type of error in your own post. It undermines your case somewhat and, frankly, makes you look like a bit of a dick.

Apologies in advance if this was a well-meaning post but to be honest the tone didn't seem that friendly.

Cheers,

A.

That one was on purpose, just like yours.

I don't think Adam minds my nagging. I hope he doesn't.

I sure don't mean to berate anyone for making typos. I wouldn't point them out in a forum post. But TWID is like two or three steps up from that.

Really, that seemed unnecessary :)

I can't speak for Andrej, but personally I think corrections for published articles are helpful, and TWiD has a wider audience than this forum (or at least so I hope). Typos in a post with typo corrections don't change the validity of the corrections, and I did not find anonymous' post mean in any way.

Plus, I think that at least the second mistake was on purpose and meant as a joke:

Ahhhhh in that case I unreservedly reiterate the aforementioned apology :-) Good point re. the wider distribution. It's just soooooooooooo tricky sometimes figuring out intent on the web. Adam's someone I hold in very high esteem, and we Scots tend to react quite strongly to a slight ( perceived or otherwise) against those we consider our buddies :-) It just looked like you were taking a few potshots for fun , but given the wider context makes sense...

Cheers,

A.

No problem at all. I confess I slapped this one together in a bit of a rush: yesterday didn't feel like Sunday to me (it was a special weekend in my church so my routine was all changed) so I forgot to do it and instead quickly pieced it together today in an attempt to get it out before it was too late.

That appears to have been my mistake, woops!

Ok again, my mistake yikes.
Humm, we need a better solution to grab all of these mistakes. Or at least Word didn't find any of them :/

Speaking of too late, I realised I missed the boat for this announcement, unless you're still able to add stuff.  I assume it might be fitting, despite not going on "in here".
