    Offtopic :
    Isn't there some 'Law' which states that every post correcting a spelling or grammatical error will itself contain a spelling or grammatical error?

    But hey, knock yourselves out.

    Ontopic:
    I would agree with the mod's decision. However, had I been in BossArky's position, the first thing I would have asked is why the OP was only interested in Eastern Europeans to fill his positions, and not EU citizens from outside Ireland. Why would - for example - a Spanish or Italian horticulturist not be acceptable or sought?

    Eh, it was a statement, not a question. Will that do? Hey wait a minute, are you a mod of literature or a mod in literature?

    I could answer that apparent question. However I'm now rather confused as to whether it actually was a statement or a question. Your preceding post demonstrates a flagrant disregard for the question mark :eek:

    To clear up this whole debacle let me state that I am actually more of a rocker than mod.

    Look pal, you've more grammatical errors in your first sentence than I have in my last 2000 posts. It was a joke.

    While you are not required to get jokes, it helps to have a modicum of wit before mashing the reply button in retaliation to percieved injustice.
    I've read your posts and that is a lie!


    It seems that we have some fresh faces for Spell Czechs. ;)

    I initially read in a second "e" into faces. Yucky.

    I take it slightly more seriously than you and I'm not so quick to pooh-pooh it. I will admit it needs something more to set it afloat again.

    Ah, yes you do, do you not?
    Then again, you probably enjoy the menial tasks more, as you've always been number two.

    I think in this case the colon is correct as it is introducing a new concept into a sentence. A semi-colon should never be used to introduce a new concept; it is best used as a super-comma or a tool to avoid the comma splice.

    A semi-colon can be used to link two independent sentences together where a full stop would be too abrupt or create ambiguity. By using a semi-colon we have the meaning from the first sentence 'carry-on' into the second and thus reduce the ambiguity of the second. So yeah I think it's ok to introduce a new concept...

    Jesus; I am totally lost.

    I had followed the conversation up until the introducation of a "semi-colon". What the hell is that?

    Akin to a semicolon in much the same way as a muppet is akin to a puppet?

    Afaik you can use semi-colon? Following the usual convention for semi-X.

    I could be wrong though.
