I am sorry if the initial comment to this thread ended up being taken as a personal insult. It was not meant to be. It was a plea for some of the typist to clean up their acts.

Slow down, type, re-read and maybe even use a word document (allowing you to spell check) and then cut and paste it to the response/posting section.

I think some people use their laziness as an excuse to continue a bad habit. Not every person here is Einstein - including yours truly, but a little time taken while typing and consideration to the readers would be appreciated.

As I said in a previous post, Phred is exempt, of course...and anyone else bright enough to type in "pet language"....and also those not having English as their first language.

We are not the spell/grammar police, just asking for some common courtesy.

Paragraphs are NICE - I too just blow right past the massive postings......all one paragraph.

Thanks guys - for your support on this topic and you have my permission to PM me noting all my misspellings and grammatical errors.

Also, keeping the paperback dictionary / thesaurus next to the computer keyboard may help some of the misspellers/typists!
