"Can you spell?" writes TTCM

And then: "becomming", "atention"

Now I might well be the worst person around when it comes to missing typing mistakes. But if I were to send posts complaining about other people's spellings I think I'd be a bit more careful...

And I notice that our secretive critic is now "we" - Mark Twain once said in respect of editors and royalty saying "we" that the only individuals entitled to say "we" were people with tapeworms. So maybe that's what one of the Ts in TTCM stands for... The Tapeworm CurMudgeon maybe? or perhaps it's Threadworm?

The thing to remember, Homeless, is that threads on the Mudcat aren't just responses to the question asked. Any question also opens up a potential discussion or exploration around related matters. That can perhaps be irritating if you're trying to get an answer - but the chances are that sooner or later, and probably sooner, someone, or some several, will come up with a pretty useful answer.

What is more irritating, I suspect is when you post a question, and noone comes up with an answer, and the threads sinks like a lead balloon off the page. A few daft puns and cracks which serve to keep the thread in view until some knowledgeable sod gets to see it and chip in is a small price to pay, even if you don't like them.
