Grammatical error in the signature warning

Text surrounded by [stl] tags is replaced with the following:

Tip: use [table][tr][td]...[/td][td]...[/td][/tr][/table] to put content next to eachother.

This would be better written as

Terribly sorry for being such a grammar nazi :)

If you wouldn't mind, i press the 'A' key on my keyboard (reference to Dataflashsabot's sig)

However, still, replacing that text isn't a bad idea.

Wouldn't he or she edit out the [stl]...[/stl] during the process of fixing it?

P.S. You don't need to put [b][/b] in the closing tags [/td][/tr][/table] if it isn't opened by a [td]. :P
Lurk more.

so that's how I put it now. thanks for noting.
it does work in normal posts simply because it's a custom bbc, and why bother even trying to find a way to disable it for other uses than signature, when only staff members are suppposed to use it anyways.

and please do keep in mind to not stray off topic by signature talk or other insignificant formatting matters.

He posted it without using the [stl] tags, so that if it's changed again in he future people can know what it once read in times past.

Its a tag used by moderators.

Stl stands for: Signature too long. It hides any text inside it, and replaces it with a text explaining that the signature is in violation with the Official Forum Rules and needs to be changed. Using this method, we can keep a signature in tact, yet hide it.
