*I* was the ignorant spelling corrector.

Our ANS threads are being put into google - I keep finding my own info when I google ANS things, which is frightening, lol.

If we're going to be quoted, I wanted it to be with words spelled correctly. I don't care in the chat stuff, I make plenty of my own typos - but when doing a reference list, it helps just to check things out twice. That's all I meant and got jumped down my throat.

Now they'll rip me to shreds over any typos in my list. I have enough problems with my hands typing, anyway - a condition like shingles is recurring.

DARN YOU AND YOUR SPELL CORRECTING!!!!

hehe

Typo's are one thing, looking stupid is another I guess. Sometimes though, when jotting down a quick post, no time for looking up in the dictionary. I haven't seen very many completely illiterate people on FR though, so that is a good thing.

All of us have made typos. And there are some nasty people who will pick on anybody. Once when I posted about the Duke lacrosse case, somebody jumped all over me for mentioning illegal aliens even though I had not done it, not even used these words or alluded to that problem on that thread. Then on a thread about Jenna Bush comparing her book to Anne Frank's, some got all excited about one poster and demanded to know her real name. It got vicious. This time they also accused somebody of sabotaging the thread because she/he alluded to illegal aliens even though it fit with the topic. I just want to say there have been good observations made on this thread and I hope the investigators are reading it.

OKay....

I was eating some home cooked Filipino style pigs feet (that remark is for uncit) so I could not type with sticky fingers.

Hey those list you did are great my only thought is if Hollywood steals them when they start getting their resources together for the Anna Nicole Life Story.
To bad you can't easily copyright protect them somehow guess no huh, being a public forum and all.
