Actually I wasn't referring to someone on this forum but now you mention it I remember crossing swords over this before. Thanks for admitting it.
Tell you what, if and when I have major heart surgery, I'll be more than happy if the surgeon can't decide whether to spell it as "their" or "there" as long as he knows how to operate and I suspect you'd be the same.
To equate spelling with technical understanding really beggars belief and I seriously expect you are on a wind up here.
