Tell it to mr. know-it-all. I certainly don't know everything and my reply was a simple *irony*.
If this really is the case, why do you have to be impolite then?
please get me right: Allthough I may be considered to be a bit pedantic, I usually don't attempt to correct others mistakes, especially when it is such an unimportant thing like obvious mis-spelling or even mis-typing. Here in Germany, it doesn't even matter if you write as scrippeled as I did with an example of "new english orthography" (in relation to today's german newspeak). It is ugly to read, but everyone understands it, and nobody complains about the mass of errors in it. English is not my native language, so I'm no "mr. know-it-all"; you may read all my posts here and you'll find mistakes, for sure. One of them could for example be that I didn't understand your irony as irony. On the other hand, if you irony at somebody, prepare to be ironied back. :-)
Take this as a honest reply, and note the obvious ":-)" at the end of my post, as well as here.

'P.S.', not 'P.S' - missing dot after S. I could argue that 'PS' is correct, too, at least in Germany it is used as well as the dotted form, and
Don't take such little mistakes that important. At leas`t no boddy heer i's writhing, New englis ortograffy with lot's off typograffy and grammathik funn, I hope thatt, i`s cleer now. :-)
