    I just found the spell checker on my computer. This is great. Many red underlines before but good to correct my words now. This is a great help to learning I think!

    I actually like that members who's first language isn't English don't have perfectly phrased posts, to me it adds to their posts on AJB and lends some authenticity to our multinational membership. I like that number24's posts have the occasional Norwegian word in or that yours I can read imagining an African accent. I also like the difference in phrases between the UK members and the Americans. All good stuff.
    It was either that.....or the priesthood

    Thank you my friend. The spell check has many red underlines!

    Totally, really adds to the 'multi-cultural' appeal to Bond.
    I'm a Kiwi so I guess my phrases are probably closer to British members rather than the US, but I can never tell.

    I've given up worrying about it. My spelling is crap
    My grammar is terrible, my phrasing at times awkward
    Can be. ;)

    My spellcheck translates some English words into a Norwegian word that looks like the word I ment, so I have problems too.....

    And that's what I like, it also reminds me that you are Norwegian, as you mention it so little I sometimes forget.

    The circus has come to town, from my bedroom you can see the big top.
    Reminds me of several years ago, when working for a local pharmaceutical
    Company. In the canteen one morning chatting, looking out the window at
    The nearby hill, we see three elephants coming walking across ! ( Not
    Something we see every day ) to which I quipped " isn't that always the way.
    You wait for decades to see an elephant and then three turn up at once" :D

    This may sound strange but I am learning much about spelling from the spellchecker of my computer. Even in the short time I am using it I see many mistakes of spelling which I learn to make good. This is good because I am wanting to get a new job as a security guard and but first must pass the exam to get an SIA licence before I can work.

    Good luck, Joshua! :)

    Thank you. I see the spellchecker and it makes me write better. I remember these words and now can use them when writing with the pen also. I will learn. I am reading the casino royale and this too will help me.

    Thank you VesperMelograno.

    I have a question for my friends at the AJB. I please hope that you will not be offended by my asking such questions.
    I wish to know how to use this writing symbol ' in writing a name or words which are double words. I am sorry I do not know the correct word but I do it like this.
    would I write James Bonds or James Bond's or the same for other names. And do I write for other words not names with this ' for double, like shootings or shooting's?
    This is very confusing to me and I have looked on the internet but I cannot find answer because I do not know what words to search for.

    Pretty easy: plural of things don't have an apostrophe (')

    Examples:

    James Bond's gun is a Walther PPK.

    The 1967 "Casino Royale" features several James Bonds.

    For the first time in history, the Norwegian weather service issued pollen alerts in January. The term 'canary in the coal mine' comes to mind.
