Spelling and grammar aren't priorities on here. We can understand everyone else so leave it at that yeah?

I couldn't care less about spelling and grammar. If people judge me because of how I type, they need to get a life.

How about flammable and inflammable meaning the same thing? What's the point?!

Also another annoyance of mine is the spelling of minuscule. So many people have spelled the word miniscule that it is now taken as an accepted spelling. Shocking.

Wass RPG? Reel Propa Gramma? Heh! :lol:

Ah, good old fashioned role-players were great on the C64 / Amiga. (NOT to turn this into yet another Commodore-based thread!) ;)

Rocket Propelled Grenade, I thought. :)

EDIT: Coincidently, I found this on the BBC News site. I scored a pathetic 17/20.
