Also, please Mike, understand when to use "is" and when to use "are". It's such a simple rule man.
Example 1
The bird(singular) is flying
The birds(plural) are flying.
Example 2
Mike(singular) is making too many spelling errors.
We(plural) are struggling to understand him.
Summary
Use the word "is" after a singular(he,she, it, that, this, John) EG John is clever. Mike says he is clever too, i don't believe him.
Use the word "are' after a plural(Lions, they, we, us, people, flowers, cars, chips) EG Lions are legends. SBW and his friends are still admiring nude selfies of Warner's wife.

I think I should stop posting at night - when I really make the most horrible mistakes - but then at 75 maybe I should stop posting altogether.

75?
Nice one Mike. Keep posting oom. Gotta keep the old computer active.
Hahahahhahahaha Plum!
However as one who occasionally makes an error have some sympathy with ou maaaaike. All one needs to do is read through your post once make the necessary correctons and especially correct whatever the spell check is saying is wrong.
The heading is a problem AS IT CANT BE CORRECTED. HENCE ED CANT YOU MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR THE HEADING TO BE EDITED BY THE PERSON INITIATING THE POST.
OU MAAAI KIE DON'T FEEL TOO BAD OAK. THERE IS NOBODY HERE WHO DOESN'T MAKE ERRORS.
Ed
I always found out afterwards about the errors in the heading - but it is impossible to correct it. Is it not possible to change the system and allow for correction of headings as well?
@Draad & Beeno
I'm just raggin the old man.
We all know the site wouldn't be half of itself without him.
He are a good guy :)
I think Maaik's errors have more to do with eye-sight problems than spelling ability.
Edd, stop picking on Maaik and get an EDIT function for thread headings too.
Totally agree with you Draad, Mike, Beeno and Plum...topic headings should be allowed to edit...how often does one find they have made a silly error and cannot change it, Ed.
Thanks in anticipation.
@ Seb
If we could erase all our mistakes the world would be very sparsely populated.
Mike, toemaar man.
Hulle se mos: n Goeie begryper het net n halwe woord nodig.
Mikey could look to Beandork and his struggles with language as a second language.
a spell checker could be a good idea.
"a spell checker could be a good idea."
It's as simple as that. Well said.An IQ checker before being allowed to log on would be good .You know questions like "what is you favourite colour " or " what is the weight of an unladen swallow"or " is beendork dumber than a fence post ?"
Should weed out a few.
