And my shame is out there for all to see.
Not sure what I want...penance suggestions? Forgiveness? A chance to redeem myself?

I am shocked and appalled at you Stealth

Shocking, you should be ashamed of yourself.

There really should be an edit facility. Mail MNHQ about it.

You see it wrong so much on here that you probably got momentarily confused. We've all been there!

Fret not - I did it the other day. I kept quiet in the hope that no-one would notice. But the shame just won't go away - I keep thinking about it . Every time I post now I wonder if they're thinking "Oh, it's Hassled, the idiot who can't tell the difference between its and it's".

pb I have! As far as I know nothing's been done - must be low priority.
Hassled, glad it isn't just me! Although I said something stupid on another thread as well that made me come up with a new word - brainos. Like typos, but when it's your brain not your fingers.

I am filled with self loathing when I make an error like this.

I hope you recover soon.

Oh.my.god.

Well, at the very least you should recite the first three chapters of the King's English, and do a decade of Eats Shoots and Leaves.

I can lend you it if you like? I think its subtitle is "The little book of bad english"
(see how I used it properly there...no hesitation...)
