Mate, you are on seriously thin ice, to be honest.
Look at your user name....
I clocked it as soon as I had set it up. I am actually peeved now even thinking about it. Are you a mod? Can you change it for me?

It winds me up seeing things spelt badly and I have to take a deep breath and ignore it because I know other people don't see it as I do.

Haha, well spotted.

True about the text speech though.
