Re your post 39, it is indeed sad that people cannot spell common words of their native language.

Yesterday, a Freeper wrote “women” when he clearly meant to write “woman.” It was not a typo because this occurred three times in one paragraph.

I was lucky in that I set my sights on college at an early age and read books with the intention of learning how to write grammatically and how to spell correctly. With regard to the latter, I paid a lot of attention to how published authors spelled words IN CONTEXT and memorized what I read. It made my educational experience so much easier than it would have been had I not done this.
