Car just failed MOT due to fractures rear coils. Need a cheapish pair as main dealer wants over £300 for them. I only do around 3000 miles a year so won't get overworked. Cheers Phil

We have an English language and we should use it, not bl00dy American. There's loads of people here who write tire for tyre, color for colour, defense for defence etc etc and don't even know they're wrong .... if we can't even get the obvious English spellings right we might aswel give in & use the text language that everyone seems so able to 'spell' in.

Whilst that is a problem, i think text speak is a bigger issue. I re-took my GCSE English at college and was shown some geniune papers from last year, the amount of people using 'U' and 'R' was insane!

I remote onto servers at work, and often sneak an OOF. I can't be bothered to go changing spell checker settings!

I will freely admit my spelling is appauling, i was even seperated into 'Special needs' at school for 2 years to try and improve it. My hand writing is crap too, but tbh apart from the odd signature, postal address here and there i don't write anything anymore.
