martin was principal of princeton economics (no relation to the univ) out of japan and managed one of the largest hedge fund at the time (mid-90s, over a billion, when a bil was still money), and was very good

i was at one time a faithful subscriber

his jail sentence is not for any wrongdoing per fraud nature, as whatever he was accused of, no victims are identified by his prosecutors

the usa judge chucked martin in jail for failing to talk, on subject that had he been convicted of, would not amount to more than 5 years in jail

martin uses a old fashioned typewriter, with no spell check capability, and no correction ability, and so does pretty good all considering

he is, in my journal, very spot on, scarily so

almost god-like at times, especially at cycle turns ...

bang-on, bingo, spot on, bullseye siliconinvestor.com (scroll down to see the terror that two posts highlighted)

i saved myself by paying respect to martin, after reading something he had written a whole lot of years earlier to redemption date

and so i allow a lot of allowance to him, just right

Spelling errors are all over the place now, as opposed to twenty or even ten years ago.

Even in government documents, SEC filings, and resumes.

People get used to spell checking.

This reduces ability to spot spelling errors.

Spell checks will often produce the wrong word, and we all see that more often.

I now try to evaluate documents by how well they are informed of the outside real world, and I rely much less on internal consistency and style.

English can be a difficult language.
