Just a random thought here from a lurker looking in, but.... If he has no life for making grammatical/spelling corrections... what does that imply about you for making a thread full of spelling mistakes purely to cater to that? Doesn't that really kind of imply that you have even less of a life?
Just a friendly warning that you might be making a fool of yourself here..........
I think that the first respondent here also understands that, though I imagine he is far from alone is so being.
For the record, incidentally, I do not need to be "given anything to do", since I already have plenty, thank you and I somehow doubt that the initiator of this pointless thread is about to commission me to write a piece (which really would be "giving me something to do"), so I guess that one could say that the thread is dying a natural death (except that, strictly speaking, one cannot correctly describe anything as dead or dying unless it was alive in the first place).
Earlier in this thread, I sought briefly to elevate it by adapting a quotation from my compatriot Norman Douglas; I now draw the attention of the initiator of this thread to another part of the same text (and without any adaptation this time), which runs:
He scorns to make proselytes among his fellows -
They are not worth it;
He has better things to do.Best,
Alistair
