Dear Mods

If you're going to edit my posts and if it's not too much trouble, would it be possible for you to fix up any spelling mistakes and typos they may contain whilst you're in there?

Thanks heaps,

Yes.  They were being very patient whilst they were showing their patience and don't ask me whether there is an apostrophe in whilst because I can never remember.

and they do that job very well imo.

The noun patience refers to the ability to wait or endure hardship for a long time without becoming upset.

The noun patients is the plural form of patient--someone who receives medical care.

It is not a spelling error, it is using the wrong word.
