ORIGINAL: LadySeraphina I'm picky about spelling and grammar too. Typos are one thing (though typically one should be able to proof what they have written before hitting 'send') but if you know your spelling is atrocious, for the love of Pete, use spellcheck! Of course, spelling isn't nearly as much of an issue as those people who write rambling posts that we can't decifer without the help of Saint Benji or Celeste. Spell check is only as good as the typist. One might type, "Ewe no watt eye mean" and all of the words are correct. Of course they are the wrong words, but they are spelled right. I love to see a well written post, but more than anything, I too want to read a post where the writer can accurately convey their thoughts to the readers. This is why I almost never use a spell checker. The most common mistakes I make are leaving the d off the word "and" or the y off the word "they," which a spell checker is useless to try to prevent. Plus, yelling at the damn thing because it has no correct spellings for words like "obtuse" and "cretin" tends to get my knickers in a twist. Sinergy
