So who's sockpuppet are you really?

There's a touch of Tay about you ...

That is THE most insulting thing you have said to me all day.

Yarly.

So what is the consensus?
Are "we" going to stop nit-picking about the odd typo that slips into posts maintaining the option for humourous effect?

Or I am just plain stupid expacting any consensus....

I did say that everyone makes mistakes. I did say that there were probably errors in my post. Practically everyone thereafter completely ignored my point, in the rush to find errors in my post.

My point is not that there is anyone, least of all me, who never makes a mistake; and especially not that no-one should ever make a mistake. My point was that mistakes are mistakes and should be seen as such, not simply as some sort of natural variation in linguistic ability; and that people should in general try not to make mistakes, rather than condemn those who happen to notice them.

So, what your saying is, we all make mistakes, its just some are more mistaken than others.

I am saying that mistakes are mistakes, and should be acknowledged. Attacking those who notice a mistake, rather than the person who made it in the first place is very New Labour. Polcitical correctness run riot, that's what I say!

Come on, live with it! If you can't be bothered to spell correctly or punctuate then expect the odd ribbing, and let's be fair, that's all it is!
