[QUOTE="Midknightsun, post: 3952468, member: 46459"] Okay, last thread derail, I promise. 1) Did go to: Shippensburg-but I'm an old man now. 2) I hope you're kidding with me. Even non-English majors were and are graded on spelling and grammar, so what's your point? Tell any English major that their degree is about spelling and grammar, and they'll start fuming. Its a very small part of a very broad field. 3)Seriously. My point was that internet posting does NOT require perfect grammar, as it it much less formal-- as a general rule. Which is why I don't go "grammar nazi" on people unless its completely unrecognizable. Again, for work I'm much more careful and proof read my own stuff numerous times- internet posting, not so much. 4)I'm often replying from work while I have multiple papers up. Cut me some slack, man. Sheesh. Anyway, I feel no need to drag this side issue out any further. To each their own. [/QUOTE]
