Default Re: In Loving Memory

It is always humorous to have people who can't argue the subject with any degree of value, choose to pick on someone's spelin' or typo's.

Broken and arthritic fingers along with bad eyes are not uncommon to many members. As someone who has these affirmities I have resisted the temptation to do so myself when others fail to properly spell or punctuate as they try to make a point in what is actually no more than a conversation.

Far more annoying is the use of Text messaging and acronyms which only insiders understand. For instance, What does "&shy" stand for?

Typing Franc for 50 or so years makes it hard to type frank without missing it once in a while. Typing on three or four different keyboards throughout the day makes it hard to do so without looking at the keys instead of the screen.

I considered the spell check thing. But as you know, I often type with intentional mispelin's so the screen is full of red lines anyway.

So, I thought about it and decided it was better to leave those, who can't put their( or there) thoughts together relative to the subject, an opportunity to participate. I will continue to misspell andletmywordsruntogether if for no other reason than to annoy and give such minds a feelin' o' purpose.

Enjoy.
