Quite a few countries do this.

Why do you think that they are unable to tell a lie? I must admit that unbelieable is quite an odd compound word.

Would you say that you wouldn't believe it, Devil?

I used that word because, its unbelievable that in 2020 a country, who claims to be a democracy can act in this way.

It may be unbelievable, but it's less likely to be unbelieable.

Got it in one! I must admit that simple spelling errrrorrrs are easy to make within the text of a post, but in the subject???

Say it then. Say "I don't believe it!". Please.

Devil is your problem, mi spelling mistakes?

There really is no excuse for spelling mistakes when using a computer or smart phone in this day & age!

Probably not,

But in my opinion, its a sad state of affairs, when they troll posts, so as to get their daily jerk off spelling moan fix.

If Machiavelli and the Persian poets wrote the guide books on how to rule wisely. Who on earth wrote the guide book on how to rule as a totalitarian idiot?

I don't belie it! As I said above, errors in text are easy, but as a single word in the subject, it distorts the meaning of the thread.

Ever thought of starting your own forum up, then you can give potential members a mensa spelling test before allowing them to join your elite forum, not forgetting that they must have an ology to join, so until Dominic , insists on no spelling mistakes, when posting, can I respectfully ask you to go away, ignore my spelling mistakes, you are just boring now,
PS I come on the forum to have a chat with others, not to be pulled up on spelling errors, cheers

Correct spelling is just a courtesy to other forum members IMHO

So is boring people to death with constant remarks about spelling, forum membership is a reflection of all levels of society, some have a life and are happy to chat with others, spelling mistakes too, some boring old gits, get off on banging on about spelling mistakes, easy solution, if it bothers you so much, about someones spelling, scroll past their posts, not that hard is

Correct spelling is not a requirement of posting on this forum. Neither is correct grammar, nor punctuation.

For instance, should I really have started a sentence with "Neither"? I don't know. A quick google reveals the following:

"You can certainly place neither at the start of a sentence. The problem with your sentence doing so is that it suffers from faulty parallelism whereby the neither precedes a verb and the parallel nor precedes a noun phrase."

To me, the above sentence isn't a very easy read. I find "The problem with your sentence doing so" to be very clumsy. However, given that I found the quote in a poncy site about language etiquette, I guess it probably complies with some law or other.

There I go again. I started a sentence with "However". Woe is me.

And what about different spellings of placenames eh?

FInally, remember you can block posters. WHL, feel free to block Devil. And vice verca.

And, starting a sentence? Outrageous! And I did it twice! No, that's three times. Bugger.

Thats the thing Dominic, I don't want to block anyone, I actually like reading some of Devils posts, a very intelligent man, who posts interesting stuff it just gets very tiresome being pulled up on spelling mistakes , Devils intelligent posts along with less intelligent posters,my self included, is what makes this forum a great forum, it takes allsorts as they say,
