I'm new here, but noted some spelling errors on the Beginner CSS Questions "How and When to Ask for Help" sticky page. (Apologies in advance if these edits are unwelcome):
In: "The Big Ask:"
1. Please choose an appropriate title for your post that best sums up the problem ***your*** seeing, something that is descriptive as this helps members to determine if they could provide help and allows for better search results.
[your should be you're]
4. ***p****lease do not request private help via e-mail or PM, this is a public forum where help provided is there for all to benefit from.
[Upper Case P]
5. ***p****lease do not double post you question to different sub forums, decide on the best area for your question and post once only. If ***your*** not sure where to post to then choose the forum that you think most suitable, if needed a moderator can move the thread to the area deemed most suitable, no harm done.
Double posts will be deleted straight away.
[Upper Case P, your should be you're]
In: "Techniques to Help Solve Problems:"
d. Use borders or background colors to show positions of the elements ***your*** working with.
[your should be you're]

Some spell corrections for How-To guide on Beginner forum.
hey mark
i no what your saying but that sought have speak is endimic hear reed a foo postes 
It's usually excused as er... speed typing, but, it's what makes the forum such a pleasure to visit - I'm addicted to it now.
Seriously, however, this kind of um... evolution of the English language should not be allowed to continue, but, is only to be expected: it is rather like the use of color and center etc, adopted by you know who. I feel I'm coding in a foreign language :?

Thanks for pointing those out Mark. I guess I ought to mention that they were not Tony's errors but mine when making some revisions to the posts. I hold my hand up, and hang my head in shame, but it is a case that things are rushed at times, and as everyone will attest to on this forum when I rush spelling/punctuation goes out the window 
I do hope that the content was not marred by these errors though and that the copy still made sense.
Contractions are an altogether lazy way of writing and I use them as seldom as possible normally.

That's cool. I'm a former (and sometimes now, a part-time) editor, so I tend to freak abnormally. Being that the errors were in a FAQ (for all intents and purposes) I figured people would want it to be correct. In regular forum posts it wouldn't bother me for a second. I'm a total CSS noob, but I'm learning, and I found this place and like it, so I just wanted it to look good. I honestly don't want to flame anybody or make anybody feel bad. Thanks for taking my comments the way they were intended.
Sincerely,
Mark
