It would be good to at least know the basic stuff yourself before you start moaning at others.
I wasn't moaning at others. I was merely posting my views.

I see you didn't read the words immediately after the part you bolded! I didn't say I (or anyone else) was perfect. I was referring quite specifically (in that post) about spelling...


As I mentioned a few posts back, if you are going to be overly smart, make sure you are completely beyond reproach. There should be a 'comma' in your first sentence.

I'm not the one starting a thread about it, am I?

Also, yes, as well is two separate words, thank you.

Also, the comma is used for clarity. It makes perfect sense without a comma so it isn't needed.

Spelt and spelled are both acceptable.

All I did was point out your own errors. Both your sentences were incorrect. The one referring to Stacey was poorly executed in many ways!

Commas aren't used for 'clarity'. They are used for a whole variety of reasons. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma

The 'spelt/spelled' is only a slight issue as the British prefer one version, the Americans another. Similar to 'authorise' / 'authorize'. Technically, both are correct, it simply depends on the UK/USA English versions.
