When I was checking out my profile, I noticed that under the awards section where it says "Sadie hasn't recieved any awards", the spelling was incorrect.

The rule if "i before e except after c" - in other words "received".

Sorry to be pedantic, but as the website prides itself on spelling, I thought I'd mention it.

If a being deigns to throw their weight about as a spelling deity then a neighbour is likely to unveil them, seize the reins and drop a heifer (beige in colour, of course) on them from a great height, claim they’re the rightful heir and carry on the reign in a similar vein at their leisure.

Off to do a heist with a ball pein hammer now…

PS. Isn't 'is' spelt 'is' and not 'if'?? Running away very quickly now

Yes, I noticed that after I'd posted, but unlike BW, we can't edit the posts here.

You can come back now, I've just had lunch, so I can't chase anyone!

Um, yes you can edit your own post. Look for 'edit' in the top right hand corner of your post.

Thanks for that! Hadn't noticed it - is there a time limit on editing your posts or can you do it anytime?

As far as I'm aware you can do it at anytime. I've never experienced a limit myself.
