ROFLMAO.

I think the *last* thing a moderator should do is edit spelling mistakes. There are a lot of people on these forums for whom English is not their first language. Then there are people who just plain suck at grammar (me ;) ).

Editing their posts would annoy them.

I have had to kerb the temptation to start editing grammar and/or spellling, it is just patronising and i am sure no one would appreciate it.

I would actually appreciate that enormoulsy, since I always want to develop my language skills. But it would take a lot of your time, and every member on the board would think I always posted horrible things, since all of my posts would end with "edited by mr Sleep" :D :D

I wouldn't mind either. I wouldn't want a spelling error of mine hanging around the forum for all eternity. ;)

As my English teacher used to say never start a sentence with the word 'but'. :D

I would hate to do that job, it is so patronising, i believe i posted that before but i shall expand upon that comment.

I am Welsh but my main (and only) language is English, i have spent nearly my whole life speaking English. I try to be good at everything that i do, i speak and write a lot of the time, so it is only natural that i would become proficient in the use of the English language.

It is only natural that this board would become multi nationality, i can not speak any other languages, so to start editing someone elses posts just because there are a few spelling mistakes seems improper. I would in essence be lauding the fact that i am profiecient with my language, when i have no ability with any others.

I hope you understand what i mean.
