OFF TOPIC -- Grammar and Spelling


1. loose vs. lose
2. "I could care less." vs. "I couldn't care less."


Has this stuff been causing problems on the thread?

I haven't experienced any difficulty understanding the posts on this thread these last few weeks, so I'm guessing that the problem is usually found on other threads.

Anyway, it wouldn't hurt to put a little additional care into our posts so that they actually say what we mean.

Thanks, PW.

P.S.

The Spell Checker

Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea.
It plainly marques for my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it to say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a way.

As soon as a Mist ache is maid,
It nose be four too long
And eye can put the err or rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.

Eye have run this poem threw it,
I am shore your pleased to no,
Its letter perfect awl the weigh,
My chequer tolled me sew!
