    I bet that they don't make the same mistake differentiating between "nose" & "noose".

    I'llstop hanging around this thread. :p

    Autocorrect is a wonderful tool but it does not get that there is no such word as ducking.

    I disagree. The most common misspelled word and grammatical error on PC is the mix up of "you're" and "your" - as eluded to by @geoffw. Closely followed by "their", "there" and "they're".

    I'm just ducking down the shops to grab some milk. I couldn't get a clean shot on him as he was ducking and weaving too much.

    You're right. But those errors are not something that can be fixed by drawing attention to it though. Spelling 'ridiculous' is.

    I'll point out to those who didn't catch your irony that the correct word is "alluded".

    You know....you could have escaped (eluded) drawing attention to yourself with your spelling earlier today!

    I'll leave that with you! ;)
