    RE: Good content but...

    Proofread is more an American word I believe. So definitely inadmissable! :D

    RE: We could share the duties if you like

    The spread of text language out of the text message into normal usage hasn't helped either. All these abbreviations and mis-spelt words to shorten them are creating bad habits. I've even seen CV's using inappropriate wording.

    It annoys me when people say 'no' instead of 'know'. That's the sort of thing people do deliberately in a text message, but shouldn't elsewhere.

    Christ all mighty - all those comments over grammar!
    Appreciate the feedback though - Ill pass on the offered help for now though thanks. Just doing it for fun at the moment and enjoyed taking in some of your games.
    I rustled the report up in about an hour - but will get it proof read in future to ensure no further embarrassment!

    **Checks any spelling mistakes in the post**
    **Sure he's made some**
