Non-Stardard Horizon post - sorry
Codders,
I really couldn't be arsed at the time, but there have been a few posts lately where your grammar and spelling have definitely slipped. If you'd be kind enough to dig these out, I'm sure we'd all be delighted to use them as examples of what to avoid.
In addition, your use of punctuation is still excessive leading to confusion for readers as to whether you are amazed, confused, incredulous or just panting orgasmically.
Pots, kettles, stones, greenhouses etc etc

Agreed my standards have slipped somewhat - my keyboard seems to be getting very dyslexic lately but I am NOT just picking up on silly spelling mistakes - it's the ever creeping trend of Americanisms. I have nothing against our transatlantic cousins using them but surely we don't want the whole of the UK to go the same way?

Yo! 'Sup bitches?
Have sympathy for those of us in Canada! I work in the communications field and we have some major clients who insist that we use "American" spelling in their publications. Their reasoning is that Canadians "understand" why some words are spelled incorrectly, but Americans don't understand it at all. 
As if that isn't enough, most of our TV originates south of the border, as well as magazines and books.
I think it just a matter of time until Canada becomes officially quadra-lingual: English, French, American and Eubonic!

Good point Stoo - I have noticed that Canadians spell Colour with the U - I was pleasantly suprised - it must be really hard to hang onto your identity.

It is indeed Codders. The fact that the US has ten times the population that we do, means that we are consistently bombarded by US media in all forms.
As I type this, it is Sunday morning. I am enjoying a mug of tea with the television on. If I am counting correctly, I receive about 48 channels, and of these, only about 16 are Canadian and of these, three are French lanuage. None of this is to say that we have anything against our southern neighbours what-so-ever. It is a very close relationship although we do sometimes disagree on matters of trade and world events...
The gradual erosion of our "culture" is probably inevitable unfortunately… although it will take many years I imagine!

Of course the flip-side to this is that our beer is winning market share "down there"....

Of course it is-it's not pi55
I'd love to introduce the USA to this...10% ABV out of the can. Makes very good 8% shandy

Jeez, Can you still buy Kestrel. I though that died out in the 70's along with No 10's.
