[QUOTE="sullivan, post: 2150491, member: 28152"] Well at least part of the job is done to keep you from bringing up mistakes that have little to no bearing on the topic at hand. Spelling and grammar, check! Poor wording that suggest faulty logic but where the rest of the post has a different meaning and the error does not invalidate the point being made? Well lets just shuffle that over to the "To Do" list, mmmkay? ;) I will first attempt the gentle method, since, well since I don't know you and have not yet noticed any particular reason why this wouldn't work. Notice the bolding I added to your quote. I suggest that you reflect on and challenge your perception of nessesity. P.S. There are other boards where I use the moniker "blakkie, godess of spelling" (SIC). I can tell you your experience has served you well. Internet boards are more akin to conversational speech than printed text. Why is this generally accepted? I suspect it is somewhat due to the presence of two-way communication that can refine the message. EDIT: BTW I do have good grammar skills. The problem is that they are slow grammar skills. However they can be brought to bear on a target such as someone attacking my grammar or spelling when their attack is really just a diversion from the issue at hand. Little errors slip into our language all the time. Some so small and obscure that very, very few people notice and the intended message gets through just fine. I've found that the chances of any given person making a handful of lengthy posts without at least one error is slim. [/QUOTE]
