I cut this out of an Aston Martin BBS where I post. They were discussing a stupid street race video and I thought you might find (in all seriousness) the posting regarding each others punctuation and grammer. Hope you can follow it. AZ and XY are names that I "changed" to protect the posters. The last post is mine.

Half way through that videio I thought to myself 'It's all going to end in brown trousers'.

Spelling, missing comma AZ.

Phew! I was waiting for that... Fortunately, I had merely copied someone else's post (mea culpa for not bothering to spell check)

So, are you saying, "It wasn't me, it was the other guy."?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AZ
The post was under my name so I have to take the rap.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And I ought to check-read the post before hitting 'Post'
(Yes, I know it is not good style to start a sentence with 'And')
And I thought of correcting the original posting, but that would spoil the sense of the thread.

You should just be more careful in the future

I can't say that I've ever been on a bulletin board system were posters correct each others grammer and punctuation. Oh, I forgot, your British.
Back on topic, unfortunately, its usually not those kinds of idiots who get killed; they end up killing someone else. (Should that have been a comma, or a semicolon?)
