    really? rA managed to, and even the groucho marx of the forum did but chose to use humour, then spectaculars failed to interpret my repost as humorous, so obviously its possible to understand even with a missing word.

    I mean you only have to read the sentence to know what word was missing, otherwise it doesn't make sense! Still I guess comprehension isn't your strong point!

    Tbh I hadn’t noticed the original error and I suspect MA isn’t having a personal go at anyone...so can we move on and maybe discuss what was said/meant rather than hide behind Swale’s original tiny typo?

    Let's take a look at the sentence. Let's take a look at who wrote it. You have, more than once, stated that your posts aren't serious and that you don't take other's posts seriously. So, when you post we really don't know how to take it other than literally as however we take it, you'll always claim it was the other way in your head.......

    "Looking at these figures its difficult for any sane person to come to the conclusion the government has ****ed it up!" was what you posted. Your past history of what you post added to your penchant to, possibly, post ambiguosly on purpose for your own amusement makes it all too easy for people to take it as it is written.
