He used to be much much worse. He's really cleaned it up a lot.

Adam, misspelling is rampant on this thread and it can be attributed to probably any number of factors.

And I might add that posting on this thread is not necessarily great literature and there are times I would prefer to read misspellings rather than the words that are spelled correctly but are either rude or offensive or both.

Having said that, I don't think its fair to single out one person. If you intend to police the misspellings, I, for one, would prefer that you identify all the guilty parties and not just one particular individual.

Thanks.
