God I bet that took forever and a nasty little headache to get all that out. I bet you felt better after you had finished it too.

So, what's wrong with the paragraph--looks normal to me. Perfect spelling, too.

Been reading too many of GWB's speeches recently, eh John?

You fail to recognize the possibility that other members may be from another country with English as a third, fourth, etc. language.

Sometimes the spelling and grammar blunders become a bother for me as well, but one has to realize we aren't all perfect and not everyone thinks as you do. You may very well have a habit which pisses off another but they accept you for who you are. Some people aren't as fortunate in the level of education as others. It's a part of life.

Bottom line, if you can understand what the poster is saying, then step down from the self-righteous pedestal and deal with it. You want to teach spelling and grammar, than become a teacher in school.

Sometimes it's even a bit amusing. You wonder where the butcherer of English is writing from, since so few posters note their country of origin. It does seem, however, that the worst offenders are from places in the US. Of course, Emglish is quickly becoming a second or third language here, too.

The complainant comes from somewhere near a big hole. Maybe he even carrys it around with him.

Well if you can read it, then you better be able to write it! And maybe if teachers taught, and parents became involved it wouldn't be a problem. Sounds to me like you condone poor grammer and spelling. I hope then go and work for you someday. Bet those job applications you read must be a riot!!!

for the ones whose home language is english it is just another example of the quality of public education.
