Another spelling crisis?!?!
Maybe I'm being a bit of a pedant, but what on earth is going on with all these threads and the spelling? 
I do recall several spelling crises over the last years, it seemed to get better, but now it's coming back!
Maybe a "spelling checker" in the response box would help?

It should be capital "c"

There is if you use Internet Exploder, the one that's built in to Firefox is usually reliable, however, I'm currently running a beta version and the spoll chicker dont werk, so I have to rely on my brain.................
No I'm NOT going to use IE just to correct my typo's to satisfy the pedant's (I used to be one, but can't be arsed any more)

I think we should listen to Stephen Fry, who pretty much spanks us all for english language skills. Language and spelling evolve and he thinks we should be more lenient on what many people would deem mis-spellings.

I don't think we should accept 'no' rather than 'know' or 'to' in place of 'too' though, do you?

That's coz people are writing how they speak... init (or looking face down at their keyboard aka facerolling)
If it weren't for all the PC police on this board, we would have criminals invading the forum and removing apostraphies, full stops and comas from every post... I love you PC ****'s, you make my ****ing day
