Sight and cite
I have been desparately waiting for Pam (la nit picker extraordinaire - hiya Pam!) to raise this but she is clearly to shy (doesn't sound like Pam), or polite (that's better) to do so.

When players are referred to panels for possible offences they are cited. That is named. As in citation. From the latin citare - to summon
Glad I have got that off my chest!!! Some of you will go to bed tonight a little less ignorant than you were this morning!!

What about "site"?
I suppose we all know the gist of what people are saying, even if there are typos or spelling mistakes. It does irritate some people,(including me, a little) but others couldn't care less. It's not a huge deal anyway, we all make mistakes in some way sometime, it's only human.

Not sure what this thread is really about, but I have been collecting some "pearlers" from the Internet of poor spelling etc. for a while now.
