Firstly let me make it clear that I'm not a pedant and, as Big Dave T has already indicated, there are more spelling mistakes and grammatical errors on this forum than you can shake a stick at. Thus if I'd have wanted to have a go at a general abuse of the English language I'd have had many opportunities before now.

Secondly however, and despite you not wanting a lesson you maybe should note:
- When using the first person it is customary to use the capital "I" rather than "i" as you have done. Just because people abuse this in text messages doesn't make it right.
- When using quotation marks, any other grammatical symbols such as commas or full stops should be contained within the quotation marks, hence;
'...unavailable for comment', should read '....unavailable for comment,'
- You don't need a capital letter after a comma in the middle of a sentence so "...people of Hull and the UK, Not just you!" is incorrect
- You don't need a full stop after a question mark, so "...why this decision was made?." is incorrect
Clearly therefore your assertion - "Not that i'm (sic) really too bothered but the letter IS grammatically correct and reads correctly. " - is incorrect.

Thirdly, and as Chris28 correctly and kindly illustrated, my point wasn't to be a grammar critic, but to highlight the fact that by getting things so wrong you have completely undermined your own argument! I'm not claiming to be a grammar expert - there may even be mistakes in this post as I can't be bothered to re-read it - but if I was sending a letter to Mr. Duffen proclaiming my literacy I'd have checked it first!

I obviously have too much time on my hands.....I'll get my coat.....

Well i for one wont be buying any of the e they sell at the kc.

I am a city fan and have been to see them a couple of times this year but rugby and hull fc will always be number one for me so after what duffen has said i couldnt give two hoots if city went down now

....Oh....and you still don't speak for all fans!

If the quotation marks are being used to show a quote, then the comma should reside outside of the quotation marks. 'unavailable for comment', ... or however it read

I sent emails to all my ward councillors, Minns and Duffen last Saturday, as of yet still no reply from any one of them.
