Ok, er, right, now, then, I, er, um, hang on, ok, got it!
Using "your" instead or "you're" is not, technically, a spelling mistake.
It is a punctuation error
To (slightly) improve my chances of having the last word I now declare this
thread closed. Any further comments you may have an urge to voice on this
subject should be emailed directly to me at:
andy 'at' lwsys 'dot' fsnet 'dot' co 'dot' uk
because it is now really, really, really off topic
