You have to train your mind to ignore certain things that "set if off". Good spelling is a nice bonus, but clarity is the most important trait, and following all the rules does not guarenty clarity. ________________ oop.ismad.com

If you are too lazy or too stupid to use English properly, might I suggest that you learn a language that's more "regular", like Esperanto?

Ashton's writing is almost impossible for me to figure out. But it is not due to bad grammar nor bad spelling, but something else. What specifically are you complaining about anyhow? ________________ oop.ismad.com Edited by tablizer June 1, 2003, 11:35:39 PM EDT Expand All History
