Regardless of what 'seems to be', I still think that people just tend to mistype.

If you were to receive a resume that had spelling errors I would think that the person might not take the time to use a checker.

Here on SI, I am more persuaded to believe that someone responded quickly with a concept....not an exercise in his/her mastery of a dictionary. In brief, I would rather see a well thought out post on why the market must go down (up) than than some twit telling me that the person should know that ASIAN is not spelled ASIEN.

After all, it's ego no matter how one looks at it. We are not running a newspaper here. This is Silicon Investor. As long as someone is able to put across the concept of what that person's thought processes are then that is what is important. Personally, if it were to make me money, I do not care if they spell cat with a "k".

Annoying traders by telling them they are unfamiliar with the king's english (I use lower case because the auld man was an Irish Provo) trivializes the message. It allows us to get caught up in an issue that is of no consequence.

Anyway....if (PLEASE) no one responds to me I will leave this thread in peace. If y'all wanna groove on da latest stuff put down by my hom' boys, we can 411 where it's at.

For my own part I have a few games of chess to play...I graduated from a couple of engineering schools so I'm used to illiterate people. From now on, I'm cancelling my subscription to the....revolution... and the NY Times, US News, The Economist, et cetera...The Soft Parade has now begun....listen to the engines hum....

It's hard to impress a child of the '60s with pretentious BS.
