"Q: I'm interested in block printing and dying. Where can I find out more?" - Angela Simpson writing in the Telegraph travel section, 2nd December

Doesn't anyone actually read what they are about to commit to print, one wonders? Sometimes, a spellchecker just won't do.

You guys are so sad. You must be able to find something better to do with your lives than to nit pick at others.

I can only presume that there is something missing in your lives, which gives you the time to tear other people apart like this.

You should be ashamed of yourselves. I would hate to spend any of my time in your company! Hang on....... why am i even wasting my time on you.

Rob - for a start, I am one woman, not 'you guys', and for a finish, try to get some perspective: this is a lighthearted look at literacy (or lack of it). There are important wrongs in the world to be righted if you want to do something useful with your life.

Sounds like someone's had a sense of humour failure/by-pass.....

Where do these people come from?

The writer is a rare creature, most of us are interested in not dying.
