Message:: [QUOTE="Mountain Man, post: 7847224, member: 94733"]What fun it is to waste time on such an old post, but because many have recently responded, I will too.#1 We have many members that English is a second (third, fourth, etc.) language, so spelling errors should be expected.#2 Having been a public school teacher for 31 years, I can attest to the "dumbing down of Americans" first hand. As a once member of the text book selection team, I quit when we were only given two books to chose from for history and both were filled with errors.#3 I feel it DOES reflect on members that consistently use poor English and spelling when posting. It comes in close to those that use abbreviations that are not well known, IMO.While I attempt to always proof read my posts, I too am only human make mistakes, so tend not to throw the first stone.I have also be guilty of NOT reading the original date of the post and add something. No one I know is perfect.[/QUOTE]
