Hey its just he is the only one that kicks off about it.
;-) Odin is not the only one who notices sloppy writing.  It's a pet peeve of many members on this site, yours truly included.  If you take the time to sort out your spelling, grammar, punctuation, etceteras, then the people who read your posts will think about what you’ve said, instead of wondering what you’ve said.  There’s a subtle difference.

If a writer masters his craft, his reader encounters not words, but only ideas.

please... with the sorry shape the amiga community is in, now is hardly the time to nitpick on users over grammar.
;-) I don't mean to pick over a simple misplaced comma, although we’ve all seen examples of the difference that a single comma can make.  Rather, I was referring to the less common post that is so garbled that many readers cannot tell what the poster is trying to say.  Those are frustrating.

@Gav:

:-( Dude, I didn’t know that you’d been sick since age sixteen, or that you’d missed high school.  And it wasn’t my intention to make you feel bad.

:-? Have you considered looking into getting a G.E.D.?  There are programs out there that can help.  One of the beautiful things about Internet forums like Amiga.org, et. al., is that speaking isn’t even necessary.  Take my own situation, for example.  I plan to have some dental work done in the near future, and I anticipate being unable to speak clearly for a while.  However, on line, I expect that no one will even know, let alone care.
