Stavros Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Ahh, it's obviously been amended quickly because it now reads: He thanked motorists caught up in the congestion caused while the incident was being cleared for their patience.

Give them a break will you? I'll be willing to bet someone made a typo and the spellchecker fixed it to that and they didn't notice. Is it really so much of a big deal that you needed to post a thread about it? Honestly, the amount of bitching and moaning about spelling over the last week or so is depressing.

Declan Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 To be fair IOM Today, when compared to Newsbot and the lamentable MR site, is pretty good on that score. In fact, fortunately, incidents of this kind are comparatively rare! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you've never corrected anyone for their spelling Mr righteous one! I'm lamenting the fact that pretty much every thread more than one page long recently has people pointing out spelling mistakes at some juncture. Personally, I've not done it for quite some time. Certain people on here seems to doing it with increasing frequency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not surprising the majority of people are so used to txt nowadays that its likely most have little interest for spelllng and grammar in what is a non formal use. Does it really make much difference if the story is understood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
