For goodness' sake, buy the poster!

I see that "posterior" word got the chop again.

There was something else that I missed off the the lost post

Something I do struggle with in reading posts is the lack of full stops and paragraphs. This is not for the grammatical issues, but just to break up the body copy. Long rambling text is difficult to follow, although I have to say it didn't worry the legal profession. Probably that is why they spend four years or more at university. It is so they can read the text.

Deliberate breaks in the text assists the filing cabinets of the mind and lets a reader know when the writer has changed direction.

Cant decide did you make the error or post on purpose for the drama?

The late mic-d. I only just stumbled on this thread, not sure how I missed it. Some other ones that annoy me are:

using 'less' when it should be 'fewer'

the phrase 'close proximity' (something is either in proximity, meaning close, or it is not).

when the police say they 'failed to locate the suspect'. You 'locate' a bolt in a hole, but you 'find' a suspect.

Visiting the most unique attraction at the Gold Coast.

People who say 'Bob is going to town with Bill and I'. It's 'Bob is going to town with Bill and me' or 'Bob and I are going to town with Bill.' (don't believe me? Take out the 'Bill and' in the first two and see which sounds correct.)

Not that I loose sleep over them.

I am a pretty awful speller even on a good day and I am extraordinary careless to boot. I normally re-read my posts but stuff still gets under the radar and I forget to use spell checker.
