I proabably wouldn't mind, because I think I'm a pretty good editor. However, if I worried about all the spelling errors in the posts on this board, I'd have worried myself to death. If you've got a story you want me to edit, let me know.

I think people have the right, as Mobius will attest, to spell the way they want to. I just worry that they aren't getting their message across.

After monitoring this board and other newsgroups, I now know why we had to learn all those silly spelling and grammar rules in school: it makes communication much more effective, and minimizes misunderstandings.
