"Earnest" the word, not "Ernest" the name. Subtle but big difference. Bit like when people write "your" instead of "you're". The difference between "your shit" and "you're shit"

Bloody good job they don't smoke then.

Lol... I should "have" (not "of") read your post first..... You're absolutely correct. And I love your example. The only caveat to blaming people entirely is the dreaded spell checker. Text from his neighbor I am so sorry Bob. I've been riddled with guilt and I have to confess. I have been tapping your wife, day and night when you're not around. In fact, more than you. I do not get any at home, but that's no excuse. I can no longer live with the guilt and I hope you will accept my sincerest apology with my promise that it won't happen again. The man, anguished and betrayed, went into his bedroom, grabbed his gun, and without a word, shot his wife and killed her. A few moments later, a second text came in: Damn autocorrect! I meant "wifi", not "wife"

Not to mention the vital importance of capital letters, as in "I helped my uncle jack off a horse"

It was a fantastic sale. I managed to get several in the auction and then picked up several more (at a higher price) on eBay. Not optimal. I was interested to see that the 1887 YH4 proof 3d (graded MS) was reauctioned in September. I will be looking out for other pieces from the collection’, especially the threehalfpences and some of the Maundy. Very nice pieces all around.

I've never seen a solid raised narrow rim before as they usually have some tooth detail. It would be good to see if the edge is milled as it should be
