I'd take advantage of your dads private health scheme and see a doctor PDQ if you know what's good for you.

I think that is a bit of an unfair remark, just because someone communicates by text doesn't mean that whatever they have to say is worthless.

Got in before Pierre, Roger! I've only got two points to make. The first is that the only reason that the majority of teenagers can type faster than the more "mature" members of the population is that, in the main, they make little or no effort to do it accurately.

Could Pierre or BNS please check my grammar, punctuation and spelling?
