My apologies - no offence intended. I was a proof reader in an earlier life for a time. ;)
Always have been, always will be, a WYSIWYG - black is black, white is white - no grey in my life! But I'm mellowing in my old age

You don't actually absorb what you are reading.  I was Company Accountant for a Printing Company and the Boss decided it was about time we had a proof reader. Since I was the only member of staff with a University education I was roped in - didn't get any extra pay though  ;)  So the stuff I was reading was very varied, but none of it actually went into my head!

Proper punctuation is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack, off a horse, and helping your uncle jack off a horse.  ;)

 ;D ;D, now thats very funny!!!!! I spell checked a report for Social Services once about a disabled young  boy, I did the sell check but it changed my poor spelling into other words, I said he was a well mannerd young boy and is taken to school in a large push chair BUT, it was changed to " He is a well manured young man who is taken to school in a posh chair"  :-[ see what I mean about spell checks?
My OH has dyslexia and he puts full stops, comers etc where they should not go, it can be very funny at times, he also misunderstands lot's of things far to numerous to post but the latest was when I wrote an advert saying how near we were to the power station, I said Approximately and he said, no, you cannot be that accurate!!! so he obviously thought the opposite to what it actually means......he always used to ask what he was on forms that said " what is our sexuality, heterosexual or other...OH never knows without asking!! (well maybe that says something!!) He also has to think and ask when on forms it says, "have you had any convictions etc?" he never knows whether to say, "yes, I have no convictions or No, I have no convictions" so see what I mean???? Friday we went to Tesco with one of our guests who was going to have a meal with us....my OH sometimes get a little paranoia re male guests and needs reassurance, anyway, the trolley was going wobbly so I asked my OH to push it and he said "your only showing off to John, walking without a trolley!!" we were all in stitches ;D ;DBless, he found it funny too!!!

Looks like someones on the autism spectrum?

Do you mean me, Jackie? Oh, undoubtedly. I have to have the crockery in the right place in the pantry, with the cup handles pointing in the correct direction; my daughter has socks with days of the week on them and she HAS to have the correct pair on, I could go on.

There should be an apostrophe in "someone's" to indicate the missing "i"  ;D

We are all good at something! I can spell and punctuate but, ask me to do sums, even easy ones and I'm flummoxed!
