There is no such thing as dyslecia. There is such a thing as dyslexia. There's a lot of people who think it might be a PC way of saying can't spell.

Emunit your going to get alot of stick for not being able to spell supercalifragilisticexpialidocious with all the correct punctuation and there and their set, don't ask why, just some people do. Remember thefab442 is only 14/15.

Bones or 58s.

Some people might not be comfortable with the usage of term "Bone", so may prefer the classification, 58.

For goodness sake.

Just because the word ends in the letter s it does not mean you have to put an apostrophe there.

I prefer numbers or PROPER names meself, but I usualy end up calling a 175 a 'welsh land one' 390s, pindos, vomiters, 150, 153 etc, stick, but this is basicaly because me and my other half always compete to see who can regognise the train make and model first...

PS: Desiros are Dessies or TPEs...

you know what this whole punctuation thing is getting old some people could learn to use manners before even trying to lecture people on punctuation.

Although we'd rather have properly typed out messages with punctuation and capital letters where required, some people have gone over the top and need to stop back seat moderating and calling people.

Back on topic please, or i'll have to get the keys out ;)

To be honest you might as well do that now cause this thread has gone completly off the subject.

I simply posted a gentle reminder that it is preferred to use proper English, as it is easier to read for everyone else. That was all.

As for apostrophe's, it is sometime's annoying when post's contain superfluou's quantitie's of said item's.
