I wouldnt worry about it if i was you mate - a good read through this thread shows that a lot of members dont give a good oooo about how things are spelt or gramatised (is that a word ? - do i care ?)

In my view if anyone i going to judge you on such things rather than your character or the content of your post then their opinion isnt worth worrying about anyway.

I'm the worlds worst for spraying commas, hyphens and fullstops about , again due to not being taught the rules when i was younger , but it dont (or doesnt ) bother me, i'm also notorious for posting badly spelled posts while drunk or due to typing too fast in the heat of the debate.

This doesnt bother me , doesnt bother the moderators (except for the time that I inadvertently put an I rather than an O in the sentence " ... today i have taken many shots..." ), it doesnt bother my freinds , and it doesnt bother 99% of the rest of the members - IMO if anyone is bothered by such things it is their problem not mine and they can add me to their ignore list if they dont want to read my posts.

what I'm trying to say is dont worry about it there is no need to feel self conscious just join in with what is generally one of the most freindly and accepting wildlife communities on the web.
