After not being on much, and reading some posting, some people should really review what they wrote and check the spelling. some either drop a letter, or just plan old do not make sense of what they are saying. IMO Do some agree or disagree. I think some are just trying to type out quick to get as many post done to get thier count up.

OK, I'm one of the dreaded 'noobs' here, but I do have to agree to a point about spelling and grammar. I'm not talking about simple typo's, I'm a lousy typist myself and haven't had any feeling in my fingertips for years.... but some posts are actually painful to try to read and understand. Take a minute, slow down, READ what you wrote and be sure that's what you want the world to see.... that also keeps down flame wars BTW.....
Oh, and other forums have told me I use the "......" WAYYYY too much...... Sorry...... Bad Habit.....

True. But if the spelling and grammar are bad enough I just skip the post and miss out on all those pearls of wisdom....
Besides, all those red lines under the misspelled words should be a clue.... ( I'm using Firefox for my browser)

who were you refering to? if me... i wasn t trying to make a point... if not ok... i type the way i do because the magnifier only allows me to see a couple of characters at a time... really hard to go back and proof everything...
