my grammar could hit the target from that distance

The revolution has begun. No longer will we put up with dodgy speeling, misplaced apostrophes' or improper; punctuation? P.S. pointing out bad grammar in postings is banned. To justify this I'm applying a form of grammatical 'absolute privilege', as the public interest in publishing mistakes far outweighs the cost to the public of making further mistakes. Call me a hypocrite if you will, but it works in Westminster.

Stone me!


Spotted at Chester Castle today - you'd think the county council would employ a signwriter who can spell masonry, but it seems standards are falling faster than the stonework is...

"The trail continues"

It seems a shame that the spelling mistake comes right at the end. So near, but so far.

"...The alleged offences date from September 1976 to May 2005.

The trail continues"

Wot?

There's an evil Robbie sitting on my shoulder, begging me to write underneath, "Leave the English language alone if you do not know what you are doing".
