ASF isn't just a place to discuss the stockmarket and world events, its also a place of learning. As administrator I am unfortunately exposed on a daily basis to the regrettable spelling and grammar of some of ASF's posters. This thread is my attempt to improve people's literacy levels and consequently improve the level of posting on ASF. Take pride not just in what you say, but how you say it....

A friend of mine, a solicitor, complained about a new secretary: &quot;I have to correct her grammar - she typed 'we will try to ...' I had to change it to 'we will try and ...' &quot; I said it was presumptuous to say 'and', and asked if it were a legally binding statement that they actually had to. She was correct: 'We will try to...' His sheepish tail went between his legs... lol ......
