    Yeah, it’s up there with the identity of the Zodiac Killer.

    No mystery, it came up because you was spending too much time correcting others.

    By the way using a hyphen incorrectly in a word is a grammatical error not a misspelling.

    It is a misspelling.
    It is a misspelling. In linguistics, the grammar of a natural language is its set of structural constraints on speakers' or writers' composition of clauses, phrases, and words.

    You have to build up to killing Zodiacs by starting with something less Popular. :emoticon-0100-smile

    I wondered if I should have emphasised the 'Popular' bit in a different way.

    When it’s written, it’s a grammatical error.
    ****ing wiki ****er. If you want to pull me up on stuff best not just cut and paste from Wikipedia.

    He can’t write it any other way because he just copied it of the internet, he doesn’t understand it.

    No one ever cuts and pastes on here, do they? Obviously you have looked it up to see where I got it from.Just thought I would put it up hoping you might understand the difference. A misspelling is not a grammatical error.

    Could this be another 'misspelling'?

    Surely Fergie said he knows the price of a 'bint'...

    Can we please change the thread title to something more appropriate please?

    I'd suggest "Please give an example of how forum users tend to only focus on some narrow act of pedantry rather than engaging in the broader topic"

    Cheers!

    I just used a technique, that I use when searching for fraudsters on the internet. Easy really.
    Using a hyphen incorrectly is a grammatical error not a spelling error.

    I always say that my west window had all the exuberance of Chaucer, without, happily, the comcomitant crudites of his period. :emoticon-0100-smile
