Philip you are indeed correct, however I wonder how many lives would have
been saved by the unscientific adjective "get of this ****ing beech now,
there's a tsunami coming!"
And there you see, is the reason for requiring correct grammar and
spelling. Had someone in fact been in a beech, and had taken that message
as a command to get down, they might have been washed away, whereas had
they stayed in the tree they might have been saved.
This is not a spelling flame.
Apologies if anyone feels the need to be offended, given the subject
matter.
Other disclaimers may apply.
