But I shall continue to champion the "u", "gh", and all the useless silent letters because that's just how I was taught to spell, damn it!

Sorry, that was all rather pointless. Please carry on.

One idea is to cut and paste what you write into word, spell check it, and post it back into the text box - I've seen some weird and wonderful spellings of words like; 'squadron' 'necessary' and even 'important'!

I hope I don't sound like an old woman, but really, if you've got an important point to make, you really ought to try and keep an eye on the spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

Nobody is going to be giving you marks out of ten or covering your posts with red biro - it's just for your own credibility.

Nah, you're not the worst offender by a long chalk.

Anyway, although I would never dream of changing what was written, I can iron out some of the gaffes, provided people would like me to.
