    You are correct. This forum is not a school for grammer. I would have never assumed such a role because my English grammer sucks.

    However in this particular case it was spelling issue

      Ever since I had gastric surgery I've found it difficult to eat dense meat like steak or a joint of pork / chops...

      I do enjoy fish and seafood more now.

      My tastes have greatly changed.

          Hmm. Should the missing full stop have been put in before or after the winking smiley?

          (Also, I would put a comma after the 'however'; however, that seems to be an antiquated practice these days.)

            You ought to see how commas go in Danish.

            For fun they changed the comma law in 1996, to make it more bizarre, <Judge Dred voice> And it is the Law! </Judge Dred voice>

              She will when it starts bringing them in for her.

              She'll really like it when the "dead" frogs start appearing (I've noticed that ours bring in frogs which play dead and then disappear, only to be found a week or so later stinking the place out and really dead).

                The smilie is a large full round stop

                In our school we had pretty strict teachers - saying "we will" instead of "we shall" was deemed a very serious mistake.

                P.S. I do agree comma usage is very poor in modern English, its usage is much stricter ruled in Russian language - 2 mistakes with commas were making up serious mistake which was leading to a reduction in grade by 1, with 5 being top grade and 2 being fail it was pretty harsh...

                    I thought you might have, but it was too good to resist
