Pietersen - spelling

[theguvnor]

Everywhere i read on this board and on others people spelling pietersen as pieterSON!! it is NOT SON, it is SEN, PieterSEN.
Sorry, but i just had to point it out as people are continually spelling is pieterSON, which is incorrect yet nobody seems to realise this.

[Seamer]

Sorry. I think i have been guilty of this. I will remember to spell Petersen correctly in future

Attention everyone .

While the subject is spelling, the Sky radio sstation is spelled talkSPORT, and not TALKsport. .

[Seamer]

I wish people would spell GOVERNOR correctly ,instead of spelling it GUVNOR. Just a pet hate

Depends, Guvnor means the boss, also a slang word for a supposed better, like one you would peak your cap at.

Whilst we're on this subject, may we please employ proper grammar and punctuation. For example, when using the first person it is customary to capitalise. Therefore, in theguvnor's sentance above, the use of 'i' is factually incorrect. In the future, I would prefer to see this capitalised. For example:

In addition, although I have not seen this for a while, when using an apostrophe - only use them when you are missing out letters to shorten a word. Apostrophes are not for use in plurals, as illustrated below:

Although "carrot's" is often seen as a plural on Romford market, this is not actually correct.

Here endeth the lesson.

I await with baited breath any complaints about my own spelling and grammar.

I have no complains, although admittedly, my typing is quite woeful, sometimes I can type sentences with wrong grammar quite unintentially. And if I'm lazy, I don't always edit my mistakes, for which I duely apologize. I'm thikning on the lines of changing my signature and make it something like "Sorry for wrong spellings, grammatical mistakes etc are also sincerely regretted".
