After Eight chocolates are the finest after-dinner mint you can ever buy. The delicate mint wafers are covered entirly in dark lucious chocolate and melt slowly in your mouth. Truly irresistable!

I thought we agreed not to be picky about spellings and grammar anymore.

It's never wrong to be picky about spelling and grammar! (But then again I am a copywriter so if I wasn't picky, I'd be unemployed...

Back to topic - does anyone remember Harlequin chocolates? They were like a poor man's Roses. There was always a bit of a hierarchy when it came to chocs at Christmas - Roses are best, Quality Street second, then Harlequin at the bottom of the pile.

When did they get rid of Biarritz?

As a teacher whose job includes teaching correct spelling and grammar, I have come to the conclusion that it's a matter of time and place. In an informal setting like the forum, casual spelling and grammar is like a form of casual speech.

However, if someone is being picky or nasty about other aspects of people's postings (as was the case recently) their own postings are likely to come under scrutiny, including their spelling and grammar.

Y care bout spellin n grammer!!!!!!!!!!

Many concerns about grammar are in fact relating to semantics rather than grammar. I am something of a grammar pedant, although I agree with Spicy that in a situation like this it's usually not important.

I say usually, as just ocassionally bad grammar and punctuation can lead to misunderstandings.

Ha! I assume 'ocassionally' was a trap then, in which case I fell for it! Did you see the programme about the Broads last night? Great stuff.

I wasn't being nasty, possibly picky. Choc chick's post just made me laugh.
