I've noticed that there are a lot of photos with the captions Ore 'Shoots'. It should be 'Chutes'.

But if you were describing ore shoots then that would be the area of rich mineralisation in a vein.

I fully agree with Mike.
Also, is there some programming that will prevent posters using text-speak?
Surely, we should only accept posts in proper, grammatical English!

Otherwise we will end up like that other website, you know, the one that's about a month later..........

Just to join in the fun - it's ‘grammar-Nazi’ and "apostrophe". 😉

Sorry Simon,
I'm a translator and proofreader by profession - I even find myself translating and checking the articles in the German newspapers I read with my morning coffee.
