Today: "right a book" English is a bitch of a language to learn. On second thought, I have read a multitude of wrong-headed books I'd like to right.
Today an earnest new foreign spammer almost got to the end of a post creidbly before concluding that he wants to "here" from us.
========================== Mr. author,Arthur; maybe it's conncted to illiteracy rate. John Deere put a rabbit & turtle on its tractors; instead of words ''fast & slow'' They also used to have a spell checker here.
Murrsy, thanks for that bit of historical trivia. Absolutely priceless, and something to file away for when the right quip is needed. For you today I found "ballance", used twi-cet, so not a typo. One would have thought that the person typing it would have seen 'ball-ance", implying "that quality unique to being a ball" and caught it. Oh, well. BTW, gotta love your favoite EMA, been a great indicator lately.
The bane of the non-native English speaker, today's "beleive." Maybe they listened to too many C&W songs and misundersood "I be leavin' you!"
Stosh, I actually put a few questionable uses in both my posts, including a different set of initials in the first one. No one is perfect all the time nor does anyone reasonably expect it. But a bare minimum standard is not too much to ask. I am more than comfortable with my standard. Not that I want to turn every post into a spelling and grammar contest but for the record, âYour being to hard on there seperate affectsâ from page 20 need some work. 02-14-09 08:18 PM "Your being to hard on there seperate affects." ouch It is âYou are (or Youâre) being TOO hard on THEIR SEPARATE EFFECTS.â Touché. Granted, their and there is harder than most. But spelling in general is not harder than syntax errors. Good trading. TM
