    I don't understand modern programming. I learnt Basic when I bought my ZX Spectrum in 1982 and enjoyed getting this little machine to do lots of things. After having written a programme to handle my staff's tax and NIC calculations I decided that it was too time consuming to bother anymore. So I leave it to the professionals like yourself. :blue thumb:

      So that comedy code snippet would translate to something like:

      Code:
      IF badGrammer = 'Yes' THEN
  endSentenceWith = "!"
ELSE
  endSentenceWith = "."
      :)

        I love exclamation marks!!!! :wub2: (Bet no one had noticed *that* before :heehee: )

        They are particularly useful on forums where we have no facial expressions, body language or tone of voice to give extra emphasis to our words. For me, that is the whole point of the exclamation mark!

        Regards
