LOL...Thanks Noirua, for pointing out those errors. You see - mistakes can still be made even by someone like myself who was always an 'A' student in English!

I thought I would point out that just because someone spells something incorrectly, it does not necessarily mean that they do not how to spell that word correctly. I wonder how often this is true, and how many people are unfairly assaulted by spelling and grammar nazis:.
All it takes is for a finger to miss it's key, a skipped word, or the brain to default to a similar word.

Yes it does. But if they don't do it through ignorance, it must be because they are slovenly and lazy.
Not really, I'm continually sending emails and not seeing the typos till it's gone and I'm neither lazy or sloveny.
It's a lapse of concentration if anything.
Same thing.

I'm astonished to know you failed English in your clearly misspent youth, Wayne. You've clearly made up for this now.That's true but:
1/ Let's try another term rather than Nazi, it is unnecessarily pejorative and there are more descriptively accurate terms that can still be pejorative if that is what you wish.
2/ Simple typos, or the occasional unintentional word error are rarely picked on, unless the thread has descended into farce. It is the sometimes uneducated but sometimes slovenly and habitual misuse of spelling/words/grammar which offends.
There is a reason for this. It is difficult to fluidly read someone's idea and expression if one has to pause to interpret the incorrect spelling and grammar often. I find an incorrectly placed their/there for example, interrupts my thought as I read.
3/ How does one learn unless by being corrected? I failed English, largely because I was more interested in being a d!ckhead at the time. I have learned volumes through verbal jousts with English language pedants on various forums. I actually appreciate being picked up on poor grammar, spelling and punctuation.
Hail the language pedant I say.
P.S. Thank f### for spell checkers.

How long does it take to do a quick proof read of what you've written?Not really, I'm continually sending emails and not seeing the typos till it's gone and I'm neither lazy or sloveny.
It's a lapse of concentration if anything.
Yep. Me too.Try reading 1000 words of solid text with poor spelling and no punctuation then. It is then that I become a conscientious objector.
There is one person on this site who really fascinates me with his use of language. That's Nunthewiser.
Nun, you habitually write in a sort of hokey not quite slang. You will best know why you do this and I might be quite out of line in thinking it's not really you at all.
But every now and again, you seem to forget to get 'into character' and produce a post which is really articulate and minus any of the hokey stuff.
Just curious as to why you don't do this all the time?
Then again, the site would lose some colour if you didn't mostly do that idiosyncratic style.
