Maybe it works both ways?

We may be on our way to some more deleted posts.

How about we call a truce?

Not strange if you were born in Sherwood Forest 600 years ago.

It isn't what you say... it is how U spel it!

I want to go on record as saying everything in Kale's book is spelled very nicely!

The examples are easy to understand, the code is clear.

I want to see the 4.3 edition ASAP!

I agree. It would be really polite and very nice, when the native English speakers would write correct English here. This would help us non-native speakers to understand what you write, and also to improve our English. Just a few examples which I remember from the top of my head:

there <> their
your <> you're
its <> it's
ill <> I'll

i had one of the 1st copies so i have had it for sometime and tried to understand it. Im quite shy so i didnt ask for any help on here but instead i tried to figure it out for myself. I had paid for this "book" so i thought i'd better try and make the most of it as it was a little overpriced.

on a side note:
I did laugh at the quote from Spidermans DAD!! I dont recall him saying that....or infact seeing him in the movie.

@Kaeru: "GURL: (wtf) 1. badly misspelled word meaning 'girl' 2. intended by people of the female persuasion to show lipstick proclivities and announce that the female sex is strong. 3. Used by 48 yr old men when pretending to be female in a chatroom or forum board system.

remember 1+2=2.5 (for lesser values of 2!)

2 questions :

1/ Is the book available under a numeric format (.pdf) ?
2/ PB 4.30 will be available soon... Any chance to have a new edition ?
