Imagine that. Maybe if the Spell Check worked...

A related, but non-confrontational question...
Although the typos and errors jump off the monitor and slap you in the face, does that effect your reponse to any posted questions? Does it matter that much as to the spelling or grammar that some get their underware in a bunch reading it? I don't see it. Your opinion?
captsteve said:I am all for proper structure. It does make it easier to read and understand. However I look at every post as someone that needs help or information on something.
Educated or not if your toilet is broke, it is broke. I do my best to help anyone I can regardless of typing skills. That is why this forum is as great as it is.
I know my skills are not the best, but I try very hard to be clear and make my posts easy to read.

... both need to make an effort to communicate with each other.

Actually, it's sometimes amazing the communication that can occur when both parties are trying. When we were living in Taiwan, my DW, being from SW Missouri, used the term "fixin' to rain" while talking with our doorman. That was a new one for him, so DW had to explain. After that, "Mr. Chin" would tell her she needed an umbrella if it was "Fixin' to rain". Communication can be fun.Tom said:Some years ago I was in the business center at a hotel in Japan. After printing some stuff on one of their computer/printer combinations, I dragged my files to the trash can, and proceeded to drop menus to find the 'empty trash' option. They were are in kanji characters! I tried asking the young lady in charge of the business center, but she couldn't speak English and I couldn't speak Japanese.
Hm ... I walked to the corner of the room, picked up the trash can, and emptied it on the floor. "Ah so", and she showed me the menu option to use.
