    Being British my preference would be for misspelt, but I don't see misspelled as being wrong.

      (Comma after the word “British”.  It is the last word of the clause, and a new clause begins with the word “my”, so the two clauses must be separated by a comma.)

    It took me forever.
    That's all I'll say.

    Besides sharing that I was going to say, "That's not a sentence. It's a question."
    Which makes it all even worse.

      Welby, Welby, Welby. There are many types of sentences, an interrogative sentence is one of them, it’s also known as a question.

    It looks like Stu dropped out of this race.

      Yes, he deleted his reply. I do that with my own posts sometimes.

    By whom, and for what? Certainly not by me.

    He couldn't answer the question...and you fired him from grammar police.

      Well, that’s not entirely accurate. I don’t even have hiring and firing authority, and all I did was to inform him that he wasn’t eligible to answer the test question due to being a sworn officer.
