Ljack, you misspelled grammatical, and i question the usefulness of that complaint when the meaning is clear. Will the poster edit himself, or shy away form posting next time? Why risk that just to be more correct than he?
O and thanks for de-redding your sig.
I know I misspelled it. The same lack of effort I put into looking up the word is shown in many of his posts. When I am talking to the best in the nation I want to put the best foot forward. I will regularly edit my posts several times to make sure things are right, and no obvious typo's. His post was several lines long, but only 1 period. He spelled which witch. I make many errors in sentence structrure, and even more in spelling, but I do my level best to make the posts I read to a basic english standards. I feel dumb (rightly so) when I make an error like I did just now, and I aint gonna change the spelling, I made a mistake, so be it. If I woulda caught it then I would change it, or if it was mentioned to me in a PM I would change it, but since its been called out, it stays
. (Not mad about the calling out, I am just giving my opinion)
I am not trying to be more correct, I approach this forum with the thought that my words will be read by many. Those "many" are some of the best in the nation, if not world. I choose to respect myself enough to use good grammar. I was simply saying that he does not, and it shows little respect for those who read it. As to a risk, I am willing to gamble it yes. If he is scared off, so be it, I doubt he will be. I took plenty of hard knocks when I started posting, and I am better for it. Too much has slipped in this world because people were afraid to "offend" someone. Now we belly ache about this and that, when it was a degradation of our morals that led to where we are now. So yes, I am willing to risk loosing further input from stumped for life if he is offended with my saying his grammar is lacking, unprofessional, and somewhat rude (on some level). Its like talking to a 5 year old, not a buisness man.
No problem with the sig. Thank you for your threads on different aspects of PHC, and your input on my observations in the homeowners forum. I have a desire to learn more about PHC, and your one of the people I hope to learn/recieve guidance from.
