This forum is attracting attention NATIONALLY and, therefore, I'd like to make a suggestion to all Freepers.

I know that many people on Free Republic,, in their haste to post, sometimes do not take advantage of the spell function before posting, I know because I used to skip it, myself.

I only bring this up because anyone who is checking out this site and seeing all the spelling errors, are likely to get the wrong impression of the intellect of the posters and disregard the content of messages.

We owe it to ourselves to present ourselves as astute, ittelligent and educated as possible.

Please don't take this too critically, because sometimes the first impression, is a lasting one, and I have only the best interest of Free Republic at heart.

Freep on!

Agreed. Not a hugh thing, but we're getting series attention now, and we don't want to be misunderestimated. So here's a very short primer on some of the most common mistakes I've found here:

Kerry is a LOSER...not a LOOSER..but TaRAYza is a LOOSE cannon

There's no Their They're

Hypocrite and Hypocrisy vs Hipocryte, Hypocrit and Hypocracy

strategery vs strategy....both ok

Before class adjourns next time, you might want to use spellcheck yourself.

Personally, I think the writing level of Freepers is head and shoulders above other message board websites that I've seen. Nothing is perfect, nor should it be.
