    Don't sweat it - there are bound to be worse spellers around - some of our best loved and most respected posters have truly shockingly bad spelling and that's just the way it is.
    I'd much rather lay in my bunk all freakin day lookin at Youtube videos .

          So Emma, what is your first language?

                  Jamie... that was on purpose to re-enforce my claim of not spelling well... I thought someone would get the joke

                        Don't forget those of us who are grammatically challenged and use words spelled right, but it's the wrong word. I do wonder, well no I don't wonder why, I know it depends on your political stance / or leanings, as to "who" will tear your posts apart. We do have Donn for the Right , then we have a cardary (sp) of folks from the left that find it necessary to make it a point to point out minor discrepancies in a post.

                            Squid - "... make it a point to point out..." is awkward syntax. I recommend you purchase a good, hi-end 'syntax-checker' to add to your 'spell-checker'. And, in your case, I'd highly recommend adding the 'fact-checker' to the package... for when you venture into political topics <G> <just trying to prove your point, eh>
