You stated you do what's easiest for you and everyone else should accommodate and excuse you.

Then you whine that others do worse.

I'm just pointing out the obvious cognitive dissonance it creates. It's actually quite funny on a conservative forum where traditional values like manners, personal responsibility and doing what's right because it's right are prized.

i stated that i've seen worse but that's all...i've seen it. i've made no fuss about it. that's not whining, just simply pointing out that no one else has made such a fuss. i didn't say all "should accomodate", but kindly asked to overlook my style.

do you, when out in public, openly correct a stranger's grammar or vocabulary which may be severely lacking? i wouldn't do that to a stranger because it is rude. if they got their point across and it was not offensive, i'd leave it be. obviously, if they were foul in getting their point across, i might find it necessary to speak up.

i've been reading FR for a while now and only recently found the time and courage to post. i've been familiar with your screen name and found you to be one of the more intelligent & reasonable posters that i'd come to admire. however, my feelings are beginning to change. i've plenty of manners, thank you, and i use them quite often. i've admitted when & why i do & don't use the shift key. you are not my english professor and neither is anyone else on FR. you have the option of NOT reading my ill-mannered typing style. that's your choice. i'd hate to think what kind of wrath would come my way if i were the queen of typos.
