We all can make spelling mistakes which are not a real problem and sometimes English may not be our first language and we must accept certain grammar mistakes because of this and we should also be aware of possible Dyslexia.
However on some posts it is obvious that the poster has just written very quickly and has not read the post back to themselves before posting it. For example missing words and half-words are an example where just a quick read through would have made the post more understandable.
Please take a few extra seconds to read your post before pressing Submit.
Also if it's For Sale or Wanted please write this in the subject/title box before submitting and always include a price in the post if it's for sale.
You can always Edit your post after submitting.


Thank you.

Yes 'predictive text' another good reason to take a few seconds to read the post back to ourselves to see if it makes sense before submitting.

No one should mind spelling mistakes but when a post is hardly legible it's obvious that it has not been read through before submitting
