I'm not the worlds best at spelling, but i do try.
What i don't like is folk pulling me up for spelling & punctuation when they're just as bad.
We all make mistakes (apart from STOM of course)

Please feel free to correct any mistakes I may make.

I put spaces in.  and did not type in capitals.

There seems to be a lot of pedantic idiots on the forum these days.

Am I bothered.

Not really.  IDGAF.

Now that's quite interesting.  Should it be "There seems to be a lot..." or "There seem to be a lot...".

The second sounds better to me, but I suspect the first one might actually be correct, as "lot" is singular.  I'll have to look it up.

Did you realise that on the World Wide Web, there's no extra charge for spaces between the words?

TTFN - haven't taken my medication yet.

But it will cost me more to buy a proper keyboard that has not got dodgy keys on it., this one is brand new and the space bar is awfull, unless you hit it dead centre it wont give a space.

After sitting on your hand to make it go numb, (we all know why you do it), give it time to recover before attempting to type.

That is an interesting observation indeed  J.

Having mislaid my 'Fowler's', I fell to Gower's 'Plain Words' but found no direct reference.

However, I would tend to favour the first example - although the piece might be better written with the 'lot' pluralize should the writer wish to use either 'seems' or 'seem' as the  indicative obversation.

[edit]for not being able to see properly through the lenses of these fancy 'Varifocal' spectacles and using a physiological term when I shouldn't have [/edit]

Freudian slip?  Delusions of grandeur, perhaps?

Don't think I've actually got Fowler's - we may have acquired it at a car boot sale, but, if so, I've no idea where it would be.  Ditto Kennedy - that's why I never followed up the Latin question I raised some weeks ago.  Really must tidy up the 3000 or so books scattered around the house.
