Really do matter.

Mr SW has just returned from the Post Office. While standing in the queue he burst out laughing as he read the notice on one of the 'checkout windows' :

DO NOT TOUCH

OPERATION ONLY
If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    I trust him implicitly but, if not, I doubt he'd tell me :lol:

    Punctuation is an important part of communication (likewise apostrophes) but predictive text is taking spelling and grammatical errors into a whole new world which humans don't recognise as wrong. I am defiantly worried about it. :wink: DD

    If I've spotted the deliberate mistake, does that affectively make me sub-human :wink:
