QA, I get paid to point out your flaws. The program won't compile if you misspell keywords or misspell variables or functions differently (and most folks with spelling problems tend to be pretty random in their spelling).

Spelling is important, at all times. If a communication is important enough for you to make it's important enough for you to make correctly. If your posts are so insignificant that they don't deserve to be spelled correctly you should probably save JimRobs bandwidth and our time and keep them to yourself.

I have a job because of "flawless" coders like yourself. I've worked with many coders that are boastful like you, and their code always sucks and usually doesn't even run the first time it's submitted to QA. The bigger the ego the crappier the work, never seen an exception.

"Miss Snippy" was right, poor spelling is a sign of a lazy mind, you very well might be smart but you don't care enough to utilize it... or even utilize the Spell button FR has provided you. Can't be that good an engineer if you can't even use the tools provided.

After thirty years of writing software, you presume to be informing me of something?

If you were so good at QA, you would have noted that I have continuously stated that my proofing level for these posts does not even come close to that which I use for work products. I am sometimes posting from work, where time is not well spent on proofing posts. Do you have some problem parsing the English grammar? Do you actually think I should proof these posts in some rash attempt to win the Pulitzer?
