the beginning of your sentence please. :D
I don’t post many with incorrect spelling…only typo’s. :D

I corrected the poor grammar for you.

You missed the apostrophe in typo’s.It’s a plural, so no apostophe required.
But hey, my opinion’s don’t matter eh Jame’s?

‘Typo’s’ as Mr. James put it could be left as it is because the apostrophe could be representing omission. Typo’s is short for typographical error. An example of this omission rule would be shortening Government to gov’t or 1970 to ’70s.
So your little dig at the end makes no sense.

Very good:
Gov’t? Yes, those letters are included in that word, and there are some missed out. For reference also look up wasn’t, hasn’t, didn’t, can’t, I’m…etc.So where does the s appear in typographical for it to be an abbreviation? Typographicals?
Typos is slang, but nevertheless, still a plural. So, to reiterate, no apostrophe required.
My post was in jest as I was poking fun at James for picking up the on grammar of other posters.
Edit: Just seen that I made a typo (or typo’s) in my original post. Hang my head in shame and go to the back of the class.
Hang my head in shame and go to the back of the class.At least you actually went to the class on occasions.
I was hoping to get into a good argument about the negative posters on this board, and their criticising Englands chances in the world cup. But it appears to have resorted to basic grammer lessons, excellent.

He didn’t write typographical errors. Had he done so, you would have been right. But he didn’t, so you just look like a bit of a chump.
Edinburgh – sorry, I should be able to resist too, but like SW, I just can’t.

Thing is, Jimmy didn’t write either of those statements ‘chump’.If you look at his original post he did type ‘typo’s’.(More than one.)
So thank you, you’re correct, I am right.
If you look at his original post his did type ‘typo’s’.(More than one.)It’s funny you being the self-appointed voice of grammar and then come out with a sentance as backward as that.

Where did I say I was the self-appointed voice of grammar? There is nothing wrong with that sentence. I only posted because somebody was poking fun at somebody elses grammar. I know I’m not perfect but I strive to be as good as I can.
I only posted because somebody was poking fun at somebody elses grammar. I know I’m not perfect but I strive to be as good as I can.Indeed you did, and I apologise for slighting James on his grammar. In fact it was you who that was wrong, as you quite correctly pointed out.
So, Chump still stands.
Oh, and it’s “somebody else‘s grammar”
Edinburgh – again, apologies
