This was in an email I got a few days ago. Believe it or not, you can read it.

Honestly, when it comes to my spelling, I really try to spell things right, but I can't all the time and I really am not that worried about it. I don't think I want to come off as being a perfect speller, I'm not, never have, never will be. I try, but that's all I can do. I don't like typing this stuff up in Word just for the spell checker, seems pointless to me, especially since my MS Word takes about 5 minutes to load. I post on the forums for debate and information, not grammar and spelling. As long as I can understand what the person is trying to say, I'm good. Besides, I'm writing these with what little time I have for myself, that is to say, when my kids are sleeping, be it naps or in bed for the night. I'm not going to take time from them for a blog. It's not that important to me. I come here for debates and intelligent discussions, that's all. I try hard not to insult or hurt others feelings, call them names. If I'm fighting a losing battle, I'll just not post anymore, simple as that. I have done it on my own articals, and just quit articals that come down to name calling and insults. I don't know anyone here well enough to insult them, and I still haven't blacklisted anyone.

AND THIS ISN'T A POKE AT ANYONE!!!!! Lets try not to make it one..... Please?

Have to say... I'm guilty of policing grammar. Sorry. LOL... Some people were good at math, English was my thing. Love the language, hate to see it butchered. I'll do my best to keep my idiosyncrasies to myself, though

Generally if I comment on someone's grammar, it's because they're being a pest to begin with and I just can't help myself. LOL.

I make a lot of typos, but I correct them. Sometimes, believe it or not, (lol) even I have to use a dictionary.

I don't think someone who reads what I write should have to be an interpreter. It's my responsibility to make it readable.

"I go online sometimes, but everybody's spelling is really bad. It's depressing."

However, I know that for a lot of people on the net, English isn't their first language.

Try not using MS Word's spell checker and use IEspell when posting. Since it loads with explorer it takes no time at all.

That's what I use.  iespell rocks.

Well, if you want to correct mine, you are welcome to, but I warn you!  It will be a full time job.  Between my pinched nerves and atrocious spelling, I always have a bunch of them!

And I will be sure to correct your math since that is my strong point!

I do not mind being corrected, gently.

What annoys the heck out of me is when someone disregards the entire point and just trash your spelling or grammar.
