English?
It's someone not somone
and else's not elses.
Hypocrisy is an interesting thing.
It is not hypocrisy, it is a spelling mistake.
Come on.... Are you people looking for reasons to gang up on the 'newbie'?
It is clear that I have offended people, as this is to be avoided In future I will be careful to phrase my posts with more politeness.
While I think it is good to jump to other peoples defense, It is surely presumtive to assume that someone else cannot take a constructive reply, which contained no insult or overtly derogatory tone. It could easily have been taken as humourous considering the OP's stated desire for good English.
I will not persue this as it appears to be an escalating off topic thing, why not let the OP decide if he is offended or not?
In any case, whether he is or not, I apologise for having offended other forum members even if accidently. It is not always avoidable on forums to anticipate and provide for everyones sensibilities so we just have to be a bit tolerant and do our best.
