Sure, typos will always slip through, but I always check my posts in 'Preview Post' for grammatical and spelling errors before submitting.
Of course, for those of you that read The Guardian, it's probably all quite normal.

I can't agree with this. I am (or was 35 years ago) a graduate in English Language, and am therefore passionate about the use of the language on my own account, but I don't expect everyone else to share my obsession. Other people are good at things I'm not, and are knowledgeable about things I'm ignorant about, and I would hate anyone to feel inhibited about sharing their knowledge and ideas on a forum like this because they were worried about being "perceived" as somehow inadequate because of a misplaced comma or a spelling mistake. Why do we have to judge people on these surface criteria anyway?
