Default Pedant thread!!!
Not sure how this one's going to go down, but if there's anything you see posted that drives you up the wall, please post it here!

Little things, stupid things, things that have no bearing on the grand scheme of things but pi55 you off nonetheless...

Things like the plural of 'Fly' being 'Flys'. Please, it's FLIES.

Not having a go, and it's probably that i haven't slept for 4 weeks since my wife had our new baby but it could be a laugh to see what winds you up.

If peeps take offence, i'll delete the thread.

Cheers

Alex

"Could of"

"Brought" for "Bought"

I just love the posts that start, "I'm an experienced course fisherman ...".

No you're not ... you can't even spell coarse!

Not being pedantic, but I noted there were a number of mistakes in your grammar. Firstly, I would used an upper case 'I'. Also I would have put a comma before, 'but'. (You normally use a comma after a coordinating conjuction.)

Must try harder!

Thank you

Yes people posting things in the wrong section like this thread.
This is general fly fishing not what gets up your hooter section.
