    if you were quoting me on "serious" i meant in the way it was formulated rather than its content, even if you dont want to be taken seriously i think its important to get the basic things like spelling and grammer correct, not even for yourself, just for the people who take time to read it - even if they are bored.

    a simple spellcheck would have sorted most of it in your piece, and would not have taken long.

    and as regards it being a job, i dont think many people who post or read on here do it as a job, nor are they snooty, some may be opinionated (id hope everybody is) but at least they take themselves, and sometimes their work "seriously"
