Would someone please tell me at what point correct english grammar beacame obligatory for posting on this forum?

Also, the correct spelling is "became" and not "beacame"....

This clearly demonstrates that Dyslexics should not make comments upon grammar and spelling and the benefits of igoring normal rules of grammar on this forum

Please Lyndon can we build a spell checker in to the forum

Would everyone please note the above sentance is a question and therefore correctly ends in a question mark. I would like to highlight for the general benefit of all the following gramatical errors in the previous postings.

Questtions without a question mark.

Single word sentances.

Paragraph commenced with a conjunction.

The use of miniscule for the personal pronoun.

Lydon is a proper noun and shoudld start with a capital.

"did u do english GCSE" should eilther be "Did you do GCSE English" or or "Did you do a English GCSE".

The words "bugger", " Erm", bold type, capitals and abreviations should not be used in polite written English.

pedantic git is not a full sentance.

I hope that helps to clarify matters for everyone.

I'm not even going to start on the spelling and grammatical errors above.

1. That will be "ignoring" then, will it?

2. Surely your request to Lyndon for a spell-checker should include a question mark at the end?

There're several other bits of punctuation missing. Why just pick on the question Mark?

2. The subjects correct given name is 'Lyndon'

And as the "subject" is a possessive noun, it should be "subject's".

Unless, of course, there are many "Lyndons" in a collective like the Borg - in which case the apostrophe comes after the "s" like so "subjects' " and they would all be called Lyndon.

So are we in a collective? Signed..... Lyndon

There we are then........ all is explained.

Althought a still think we should be entitled to a spell checker and a P.A. to ensure all grammatical and spelling errors are eliminated.

@ Pauline.....er.......Lyndon....Everyone

oops bad manners to laugh at your own jokes

While we on this sort of thing can any one explain the correct use of forum. The Peugeot 206cc forum is a collection of other fora (the correct latin plural of forum). Surely then the plural form is should be Peugeot 206cc fora or if you have to Peugeot 206cc forums or is forum the collective noun for many fora?
