Hi Patrick,

Did you ever stop to think that people may respond quickly and post incorrectly simply because of poor typing?

I'm sure we would all admit to doing that frequently. I type with two fingers--VERY badly. But if you would read our posts, you'd realize we don't want to criticize individual errors, but discuss the more commonly misused and abused words and grammar, or really, just to have fun with words and derivatives. We are all logophiliacs, suffering from an obsession with words, but I don't think we mean to be logogogues and grammaticasters, merely grandiloquently nice people.

(I guess I should add that I have no idea what the original intention of the thread was; this has been what I've observed today.)
