        I wanna see some examples of this horrible British spelling...

        Its a little un-fair to single out brits as u did, i bet if u went through 100 posts from a brit and 100 from an America there would be just as many 'mistakes' in both sets!

        I ve only been on this board a short while but i seriously get the impression that its just full of American brit haters! its not about us against you, its a boxing forum, we all have opinions and should be listened too no matter where we re from n if someone puts a bloody comma in the wrong place so what!!

        I ve never read a post on here i couldnt understand, some people like to write in short hand, and its been mentioned earlier that some people have English as a second language, i honestly dont see a problem, its just nit picking..

          I think more annoying is the use of all caps. I don't even bother to read the ****e if it's in all caps.

                      Yes sir, my point exactly. You probably care about your appearance as well and take showers regularly!!
