Your right and I apologise. Typing off a mobile with small screen.
I admire Andrew for putting a robust case for the defence.
However despite that the body language was awful edited or not and not prime ministerial. Gordon cops the flack and I think Cam the Sam has to be scrutinised too.

Is this going to degenerate into a debate about typing errors?
I would advise you, of all people, to avoid going down that route.

I've never made an error in any literature produced.

Thread wandering, and rudely criticizing another member's writing ability.
Tut, tut.

Has any literature even been produced for Karen Buckley?
Maybe they're too scared of typos and looking foolish and disorganised.

I haven't received any nope. What's that got to do with me though?

Should have added that it's not a major issue. The actual content is far more important than missing grammar or additional words. It just seems a bit sloppy for something that probably cost a good £500-£600 to print. Just need to double check stuff in future.

I don't know who proofreads your literature, Andrew (whatever your "literature" might be), but I do hope that, unlike you, they realise that "proofread" is one word.

This is Accringtonweb, I'd put a little more effort into proofreading if it cost me £600 a post.

Very good! You've got it right this time! No, no, don't thank me and definitely no chocolates!

Re: General Election
The Devil's in the detail.
That's the trouble, if you're going to be hypercritical of others' abilities.
You can't afford to make even the slightest mistake.

Re: General Election
I think you are being picky Andrew. Good english is helpful but we are in danger of going back to Gordon Browns one eye'd, black marker pen issue.
I always make errors when typing from my mobile and half of those are the automated error correction.

I make tons of errors on Accyweb too. I'm terrible at spelling. I just think candidates should make more of an effort to double check things. The leaflet I got read "If you have any issues or wish to contact to me, my details are:". Yes it's a small error and you still get the main point, your contact details, but just seemed a bit careless for something that's going to 43,000 homes.
