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! 😉

False accusations are a violation of the TOS.

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?

@Very-Rusty
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.
