Oh... sorry AuntySassy, that'll have been me and my pathetic attempts at explaining things then. Sorry. Still, at least on the bright side it indirectly led to PSD writing all that stuff up for us I suppose.
Ah, right, that makes alittle more sense. Still, anyone want to point out any incredibly annoying bits now so that I can fix them? Any tips, hints or questions?

Well, unless you were talking about the biblical bloke whose wife turned into a pillar of salt (btw, how the hell do I as an atheist know all this?), lots are lots, not lot's...
Greengrocers are notorious for adding apostrophes into words like tomato's, potato's and mushroom's. Keep 'em awy from Mycroft's bookworms, is all I can say.
(in fairness, this may be a UK phenomenon)

Okay, the lots/lot's thing I'll give you. Good point, actually. As for the greengrocers, no, that's not a problem we have here. Mostly because most greengrocers are either first generation Asian or Mediterranean and can't speak English too well, so they don't worry about any sort of punctuation, let alone whether they're putting it in the right place or not.
