Re: Spelling and typos - take a deep breath and let it go.

I'm the person other people ask to spell things because they're too lazy to get up and use the dictionary. I also think that I have fairly decent grammar and I usually double-check my own work before hitting the 'submit' button. That said, there are few things that irk me more than having someone on a message board tell me how to type and enter my messages. Excuse me, but that is anal to the extreme in my opinion. If you feel the need to correct paople's spelling and grammar just ignore the message, because that's what I'd do if you correct me. Maybe they didn't have time to proffread, or maybe they just don't care. Either way, I'm sure they either don't have time or don't care to read the self-appointed editors comments either. (Yes, it was difficult to use 3 eithers in the same sentnece Not that anyone cares, but the people who are careless and lazy and just stumble through life have a much greater chance of outliving the rest of us since they rarely have stress-related diseases such as high blood pressure, acid reflux, etc. I guess next someone will tell us PHLBBBBBBBBBBBTTT!!! : is misspelled. Lighten up, and as TC suggests...breathe in ... breathe out ... breathe in .... breathe out ...
