My heartfelt thanks to all who make the conscientious effort of editing messages for spelling and grammer mistakes. That's so nice and thoughtful of you for us the readers.

However, for those who truly are in a rush and oversee mistakes, take heart and don't worry too much. I will share something I just read at PC World magazine......

Actually I was skimming over that last part and was reading it perfectly and didn't even realize there was something wrong until I got a few lines down :lol:

That was so cool! My kids will get a kick out of reading it!! Of course, it may de-motivate them to learn to spell. Hmmmm. :think:

Yahvist,

I could read what you typed to my amazement. I was just going to ignore it when I noticed the mispelled words, but decided to give it a try and to my surprise was able to read it. :type:

:idea: You're pretty smart.

Lamby.... I just learned this new way of spelling from a small insert that SteveBass wrote in PCWorld magazine. He got it from a language lab result in the world of linguistics.

Oh dear, Yahvist. You know what that picture of me on my computer means don't you? Your avatar is a bird. Cats love birds. Birds are always flying away from cats. Case in point. Sylvester and Tweety. I have a picture of Sylvester and Tweety but don't know how to post it. It's in my pictures in my computer.
