knot many profesionalls hear.
Did you ever see the study that people with superior brains can read meanings of words with only the first and last letters correct?
Like we dont have more to worry about than spelling....What about important things like punctuation?? :-) I punctuated parenthetical phrase in my sentence correctly.
When people on this site use poor grammar, we become easy targets for those on the left who want to discredit us. I sometimes wonder if some of the really poor grammar of some online posts on this and other fora is intentionally posted by trolls to discredit our side. I really hate seeing posts with which I agree having such obvious grammatical and spelling errors.

The one I HATE even worse is flipping then/than. Ive seen it in newspaper articles, professionally type set novels, instruction sheets, magazines, and God knows where else. Then is a time; than is a choice. How effing hard is that? That's also one of my pet peeves. There's another website which I frequent where that error is made rather frequently. It's one thing when foreign members for whom English is not a first or even second language make that mistake, but it's really depressing when native English speakers with bachelors or higher degrees make that mistake. Quite frankly this and other errors should have been corrected by sixth grade.

They should, however it wouldn’t show as a misspelled word with a spellcheck

English is my second language and I have sometimes trouble with the correct punctuation. I am not always sure when to apply a semi-colon.

English is my second language and I have sometimes trouble with the correct punctuation. I am not always sure when to apply a semi-colon. Mostly it's used to replace a period to make a compound sentence out of what could have been two independent sentences.

They should, however it wouldnt show as a misspelled word with a spellcheck True, but it's important to know the difference in the spelling of the two words and to have others proofread articles before posting them online, especially on news websites. I tried to find where to contact Townhall.com about the spelling error, but I couldn't find a contact other than for advertising.

I’ve seen a lot of that particular mistake. Usually not in published articles though.

“Stop suppressing Dead Voters” would be a great petition to get leftist college students to sign.
