There is a new "fernie" - the Bartman award for spelling and grammatical errors.
I've been here for 20 years and now I am getting corrected by a polish chick about my English. What is happening to my life???

@mariner4life I feel your pain. Really shitty year, even worse for your industry (and what used to be mine).
If you were referring to grammar "correctors" - my wife is an ex journalist, used to write speeches for the vice chancellor of a university, and is a grammar and spelling Nazi.
It seems that I now have another one on the other side of the planet ( @R-L is obviously going to keep me in line on here) . Just in case the wife misses something (or @booboo does).
Can't get away with anything anymore (well a bit of cannibalism perhaps, but certainly not spelling mistakes).

@Mokey used to keep us in line but I think she gave up that neverending quest ages ago.

#authorslivesmatter ?
I'd forgotten about @Mokey being a school teacher again around hear. Maybe I can get her to pop in for that one? Which is how this started...

Great to here

Bugger. Fixed.
Even though you have now pointed it out for eternity with the quote. Oh, the shame!
It's tough being a spelling and grammar monitor around HERE. Just ask @booboo everybody is looking for faults.

Quite possibly, but I don't believe that I have erred with "acronym". It may just be general lesson to us all though.
Oh and "diagramme" is just an archaic spelling I think (were you around in the 1600s?). Either is fine.
Which brings me to "learnings". WTF and WhyTF did we need that word for every rugby coach and player to use? We had words that worked for that!

No words adequately describe the 'learnings' that Gatland inflicted on the Chiefs.
