I have to say I find it rather sad that a thread started as a discussion piece has degenerated so quickly into slaggig and insults.
My original post stated a personal view that spelling was important and that there is a difference between correct and incorrect, pretty self-evident, I would have thought. I then asked what you lot thought, I made no attempt to tell people what to do and criticised no-one, particularly not foreigners, AeroB. You are over sensitive, I feel!
Accusing someone of being a "nazi" or a pedant merely for holding an opinion is rather hypocritical under the circumstances, isn't it?
Perhaps the begrudgers would care to re-read the original post and see what was actually said...
