    No need to kick/flog a dead horse! 😛 😉

    'Flogging' a dead horse is an 'idiom' that means a particular effort is a waste of time as there will be no outcome.

    Only you it seems sir wold 'kick' a dead horse. For what outcome I am unclear.

    Can you explain the aforementioned in proper English? The 'wold' is what I don't quite understand. 😉

    I could have asked how your keyboard got sticky but decided to pass on that one! 😉

    I currently use the toolbar keyboard to add the u,m,j and 7 when their omission is not picked up by the auto spellcheck.

    How would you have me prove that to you? Should I send you my laptop for validation?

    I'm sure there are people who cannot spell "would"
    and I'm sure they do not spell it as "wold".

    If you cannot spot the difference between a typo
    and a spelling mistake that is your problem.
