Although, I don't pretend to have perfect grammar (or even perfect spelling), but I really do have an excuse. I have a mental disability that prevent me from properly learning language. The way I see it though, if I do this well with a mental disablity no one else has any excuse

Well . . . I'm only concerned with my own grammer and spelling. Everyone else is on their own. If I had wanted to be an English teacher I would have become one.

However, it does stick out like a sore thumb for me. But knowing I'm not perfect and have my own moments (the brain is always ahead of the fingers) . . . I keep my mouth shut.

Enjoy your day,

Yes! Me too.

Conjunction Junction, what's your function?
Hooking up words and phrases and clauses.
Conjunction Junction, how's that function?
I got three favorite cars
That get most of my job done.
Conjunction Junction, what's their function?
I got "and", "but", and "or",
They'll get you pretty far.

etc.

I'm a self-admitted grammar nazi and homonym errors make drive me 'round the bend.

I'm also a big believer in the truism that every spelling/grammar flame contains a spelling/grammar error. Your post would be a case in point. The're ?

I admit that I don't run my posts through spell check, because in general my spelling is pretty good. However, I do have a tendency to type too fast at times, and I can certainly understand how typos happen. An honest mistake is one thing, but the inability to punctuate a simple paragraph makes me nuts. Doesn't *anyone* remember where a semi-colon goes?

Hilarious book! It's on my list to add to my permanent collection because the copy I read was part of a bookring so I had to pass it on. This book is a grammar pedant's dream!

Thank you.

Status: offline 		I try to do my very best when communicating. I endeavor to spell everything correctly. I try to punctuate correctly.

I've been typing long enough that I very rarely need to spell check a word.

I tend to go over my post once before hitting send and once after my reply has been posted.

I immediately correct any typo I spot. I proofread in my head when reading other people's replies/posts. I do become annoyed when people use "u" as the word you... "ur" in place of your or you're. I don't think typing "gr8" is indicative of intelligence, but I also understand that it may just be a matter of being lazy.

I don't go out of my way to correct someone in a public forum, such as these boards. But if someone approaches me and wants to talk one-on-one I expect them to type while adhering to certain criteria. I will not spend my time seething with frustration, trying to decipher what a person may be trying to say when I could be speaking to someone willing to put his/her best foot forward.

To each his/her own -- unless that person wishes for me to offer them my time and patience.
