If you want to make a good first impression use the spellcheck on Google. Most well educated people can spell, or fake it with spellcheck, not all well educated folks can trade. I can't traqde or spell, but fake both farilee well.

You just can't help yourself, can you? There's a thread on cholestrol in Chit Chat where you have not yet criticized Obama and those who support him.
Overspool, you are not as old as I am (hardly anybody is). See this weblet: The Question: Is it "A historian" or "AN historian"? I've seen both. The Answer: This is a contested question. Let's start with the basics. A word starting with a vowel sound is preceded by "an," no matter how it's spelled. Thus, one would write "an hour" and "an honest woman." A word starting with a strongly stressed "h" sound is preceded by "a." Thus, to most Americans, it's "a hanger" and "a helicopter." There are two questions at issue here. The first is what one ought to do with a weakly pronounced "h." Someâthis editor includedâwould precede it with "an"; othersâand this is increasingly preferredâprecede it with "a." The second question is how you yourself pronounce "historian." In general, words in which the "h" has been dropped have been shifting toward having it pronounced strongly, but only you know how you pronounce this one. If you drop the "h" entirely when saying "historian," then precede it with "an." If you pronounce it with a strongly stressed "h," then use "a." If you pronounce it with a very faint "h," then do whatever seems more natural. It's worth remembering that the reason why "an" is used before vowels is because it's hard to go straight from "a" to another vowel sound without having them run into one another. Native speakers of English almost never use the wrong one, at least in speech. Say it out loud before you write it, and trust your instincts.
Most of the people who ran words together are now dead. I do think running words together can be more elegant coming from the right people. Unfortunately now You can see some pompous actors and writers do it on the Charlie Rose show. The kind who might have sat in the russian team room in new york with a scarf around their neck.
Almost as bad as someone who hyperventilates over poor spellers. Some of the spelling errors are probably also typos. But seriously, you need a lot of help...
