Next time go to Web Page Preview (File menu). Then View the file as SOURCE. Select all and copy it to the clipboard. Then, paste it into the box on FR comment page. Voila.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

One more gentle and friendly suggestion: Try to reserve text-messaging short cuts for text messaging only. There is a good reason for this, because writing is like learning to play the piano.

When learning to play the piano, it is important to attempt to use perfect technique from the very beginning. Piano teachers encourage their students to do this because they know that these techniques must become absolutely automatic and reproducible by reflex. In the stressful situation of a recital, the student will produce an excellent performance without having to think about it.

This is true in writing as well. If you practice capitalization and avoid text-messaging short cuts here on Free Republic and elsewhere, these habits will be so automatic and reflexive that you will not need to think about it. Then in the stressful situation of an exam, or under high pressure in business, you will produce a high level product without having to think about it.

Anyway,,,For being only 18 years old, you are doing a great job! You and your parents should be very proud.
