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.

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

The dictionaries don't require a lot of updates.

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

Nope, I mean 'misspelt'.

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