Well, let me know when you are fed up with grammar. Then I'll be interested.

For anyone who is not being sarcastic or tongue-in-cheek: Critiquing and correcting someone's grammar/spelling on a message board is incredibly petty and unappealing. I imagine very few are impressed.

When I was at high school everything handed in had to be written by hand. I think it was so teachers would be able to tell who really wrote what. I think most of them didn't get a chance to get too used to my handwriting...

I just noticed the thread you obviously meant. That thread is not the place to discuss it further, and neither is this one. Support threads are heavily moderated, and for good reason. My honest opinion? The best thing for you to do is just stay out of that particular thread from now on.
