From your post 9: "What else did this genius get wrong?"

This: ...their had been some discussion...

So many people have problems with "there," "their" and "they're." They sound the same, so therein lies the problem. Well, that plus a bit of a deficiency in spelling.

To correct an obvious spelling error or grammar mistake is all fine and good. It can happen to anyone and the help is usually appreciated.
To do so while making snide-ass comments and derisive comments is another thing.
That type of action does not fit in with the spirit of this website as most perceive it.

I, personally, have a great argument with whoever designed my keyboard anf puy the wrong keys in such close proximity to the keys I require - Get over your selves.
