"Bad spellers of the world UNTIE!!  "
Lol!
I'm a proper spelling nazi and usually try to keep it to myself but sometimes I just have to say something!
So many folk can't spell 'definitely'!! Its either 'defiantly', 'definately' or 'deffinatly' that I see the most and it really makes me cringe.

"In my spare time I correct greengrocers signs!
Surely you mean greengrocer's signs?"
Only if it was one greengrocer whose multiple signs he was correcting, but the lack of a definite article would suggest instead the collective noun. In that case it would be "greengrocers' signs". (I think?)
People don't talk to me at parties... |

Eeek! I do believe you're right.
Please dont tell anyone at nerds club, they already talk about me for not knowing what a split infinitive is!
