I was going to walk away from this thread because, believe it or not, I 
actually like Sparkes I just enjoy having a dig at him.

9 times out of 10 I agree with what he says and just disagree to be 
aggravating.

As for grammatical correctness and spelling I use the 'William Shakespear' 
method, William rarely used punctuation, I plonk them in where I think they 
should go. 

My spelling is not very good either so I tend to use spellcheckers.

Sparkes was correct the line should have read you're (i.e. you are) because I 
had typed your the spellchecker didn't think anything was wrong :-)
