"Separately", please, not "seperately".

Yeah, that's one of my biggest bugbears. Along with definitely!

Can we add "independent" to that list (not "independant" - which , interestingly, has the same ending as "pedant")?

I had a look for this earlier but couldn't find the reference in particular. Could I have specific links so that I can raise issues with the relevant people?

I've also seen dependant which is a proper word, but dependent was meant; I think that was in this excellent article.
My memory jogger is that "a(u)nts are people" to help get that right.

You should start your sentences with capital letters.

Ahh yes. Naughty, James - 'dependant' is the noun, as in 'the mother has two dependants', whilst 'dependent' is the adjective, as in 'the children are dependent on their mother'.

Yeah yeah
I've changed it now. Is it just the instance in the second paragraph?

Re: Correction

Be3G — Mon, 06 Aug 2007 16:18:41 GMT

Yep, AFAICS.

Nope, you missed this one

Same paragraph!

Don't grumble too much James - we're all busy being impressed by how responsive the Customer Service Staff at PlusNet are!

Isn't the English language wonderful?
"Eats Shoots and Leaves" is probably the best present anyone ever bought me. It showed me it was ok to care that the language is used properly

It says, "Please note that you will need to register seperately"
Should be "separately"
