“The Editor’s decision is final”
All newspaper readers and doers of published competitions know that only too well. I lost out on a “Spot the Ball” competition by a fraction of a pixel, it should have been a dead-heat, but the Editors decision is final and the £500 went to the other fella.

Compliant, that is another one of those words it is difficult to staple to a post.

Frequently & after too, I can't spell & I get the wrong people's names for the post I am posting about. Plus I often hit the wrong key so it doesn't make sense. I hate texting too.

Re: Edit

Something pops in my head, I hit the reply box, quickly type my thoughts, hit the post reply, then look at it to see if it took. Many times, my fingers missed a key, so I have to go back in anyway and edit/fix sp. Otherwise, said mistake glares at me and I can't sleep at night thinking I didn't fix it.

I know an Eddie, he might help.
Ed the Duck! Remember him? I wonder if he's still alive?!

I get very cross when I notice a mistake in my posts when it's too late to edit.

Re: Edit

As a genuine editor in my former working life, I edited regularly for over 12 years!

Old habits die hard, this one is no exception.

Just don't get me started on useless spell checkers and the use of apostrophes!

Ed the duck, yes I remember him.
I had a bath plug like him.
Does that count?
