Remember when I did that to Kelvin?

@Rayman4321: It happens. The other day, I tried to thumb-down a comment on YouTube but the mouse slipped and I thumb-upped it instead. :(

He can.

Anyway, if you're so bothered about the technicalities of the English language don't you think we should first weed out all the articles that are written poorly? I spotted several R3-related ones subjected to misuse of punctuation... I also noticed a few words misspelt and a few sentences structured incorrectly.

I've noticed that too, and it's on many subjects... I gave up after a while, especially when a correction of mine got "corrected".

And I noticed several American spellings in places. I think they're called Americanisms.

Xenon, you've got a point though, since Spiral is so concerned with spelling mistakes he should put his talents to better uses. :P

Depends on the add-ons. Some are developed really quickly, while some haven't seen an update for 3 years.

No he can't.
Yes he can. I really wouldn't make loose assertions if I were you.

Nope, I mean 'misspelt'.

He can't. Spiral has changed the poll.

When I last checked the poll was still open. It would then have been possible to change votes.
