“That was a neat post, AW.”

Thank you...I was expecting someone to jump me for the misspelling of the second dam,(damn) but the word damn is so stuck in my mind with Obozo as president, haha
Just this morning I saw a post where there was a simple misspelling. It was just an omitted letter.
The poster was so embarrassed, he made a second post to correct it. I started to post that it was not necessary to apologize.
If not for my automatic spell check, I could not post at all.

The thing is, you communicated interesting info in a compelling way. That's all that counts on forums like this.

I'm a writer by trade; it's how pay my bills and has been for quite a long time. Maybe because of that, common typos and misspellings on internet posts are to me not even worth noticing.

Somebody can be a terrible speller and have less-than-stellar grammar and still be a good writer. On the other hand, someone can be an excellent speller, grammatically punctilious, and a meticulous typist, and be a lousy writer.

This is an internet forum of people discussing things, not a professional publication. Spell-check police on the internet need to get some priorities, IMO.
