You appear to feel that you can speak for him, and you both seem to feel the need to defend each other's every utterance, so it seems you have some kind of relationship but if you re-read you will see that my comments about use of English were clearly about professionals when they are doing their day job (in this case, accountants who are pitching for business, not forum users in general).
I'm not sure I accept the "My phone made me do it" excuse for poor English anyway, but it's not particularly relevant here partly because I would expect an accountant to be sitting at a desk using a computer, rather than doing their work on a phone. But mainly because, whatever tool they are using, they should make sure that the outcome is what they want it to be, since it reflects on them and their business when dealing with clients / prospects. That's standard professionalism.
The only discussion with n-lad was when I got the wrong impression from one sentence in his opening post. Nothing to do with the above, just that a difference of one word served to create ambiguity so I took the wrong meaning from it and asked a question... which then cleared it up. No complaint, no criticism, everything seemed fine... until your strange intervention appeared. And to be honest, his strange reaction to that as well.
Since this doesn't seem to be working out I've found other sites that have a large number of recommendations etc that I'll use. This place is much too hostile for me, I'm surprised any accountants ever get any business if this is how new people are treated.
Accountants: many thanks to those who responded, I won't be checking further messages here since I'll be deleting this account but I've responded to each of you privately and I will be in touch in due course. Please be assured that most IT people (at least 51%) are more professional in their day jobs than you'd believe from reading this forum!
Admin staff - if this account is still live when you read this it means I've been unable to delete it. I'd be grateful if you could do that for me. Thanks in advance.
