Hey, this stuff is important. What if someone fails to cure cancer because of a misspelling in deoxyribonucleic or something?

I'm wondering if osarusan pointed out the missing punctuation in Tis-smeee's post.

Anyway, I'm off. Someone's just promised me world pease. It's probably just a vegetarian lunch, but if people suddenly start hugging you and singing Kumbaya, you'll know.

It was a bit closer to home actually John.

If it's to do with the tense in the conditional, I'm reasonably sure I'm right for once (though it's always confused me - I learned it incorrectly in school). If I'd written "because someone misspells", that'd be wrong, but "fails" is right.

I was looking at misspelling in versus misspelling of in relation to the following word or words, but deleted my post due to a combination of excessive pedantry and not being sure if I had it correct or not (or if any rule even existed).

Anyhow, back to the webblog / blog / web blog..........

You're certainly quoting a more conventional usage. I think I'm still okay though.

Yes indeed. We're likely to wind up with half a dozen posts in rubbish as it is.

I've taken a look at the blog, Dodgysnapper. "I plan on travelling the length and breadth of Ireland following the beautiful game..." One thing you might cover is some of the secondary issues for travelling fans: places to stay and eat, local travel. It's something that gets asked about all the time in threads here.

Regarding the football itself, match reports and opinions on the game won't get you readership unless you've a real gift with words: there is no shortage of them elsewhere. Find a niche.

There will be no match Reports, I will be picking a game each week which I will travel to and take pictures of, the game, the surrounds and the people.

I will also have articles written by Supporters, Players and Journos, these hopefully will compliment the pictures.....
