    This has a name, I forgot, when people read the brain does a lot of auto-correct. Hence typng errors that people don’t even notiec.

    Can’t work out if your second sentence was intentionally written like that…

    @Rob For completeness, all numbers should be written in full at the beginning of a sentence.

    Regarding grammar in general, I was brung up on a council estate and barely scraped through GCSE English. The RAF managed to round off the rough edges such that these days the multiple errors I now make are simply referred to as Strickerisms.

    Keep up the good work, if the spelling and grammar were perfect then we’d assume you weren’t human.

    “Brung”?

    @PCZ. It’s certainly in the Weegie Dictionary, with particular use in Strickers’s context.
