Hi

As you can probably see from my username im female and live in Scotland. I have been visiting both forums for quite a while now and i feel i can add to the debates

The reason i have not registered before is that i suffer from a very mild form of dyslexia, by this is mean i cant tell when i have spelt a word wrong and if i spell check i sometimes dont know the right word to replace it with so a single post can take ages. if i put punctuation in the correct place it would be more luck than good judgement

I sometimes see that entire posts are rubbished based on punctation so can i ask that if i post can you look at what im saying rather than how well the paraphaphs are put toghether

right ive got that out of the way ill be posting on some of the topics shortly

Welcome!

If people do have a go about spelling or whatever, take it that they are trying to help you, then ignore them!

Welcome scotgirl.
You're in luck, our resident school headmistress, Nigel 'spelling bee' Garage, is on enforced vacation on planet Veritas. So you shouldn't get any comments regarding typo's!

Not so fast C-steam. I think scotgirl should be spelt with a capital S!

Thank you white Knight i expected a lot of harsh treatment especially on my writing but im happy to say that hasnt happened and that people are willing to debate with me, understandably not everyone agrees with what i have to say but everyone is debating the points and not the fact that i cant spell, punctuate or sometimes even put my thoughts forward in the best possible way.

again thank you for making me feel welcome here
