<<Folks should use 'em, sez I. When they don't... it's kind of like going out into public without having showered for a week... like giving the finger to the world.>> << screw it, let them figure out what I'm trying to say >> Those were your examples of anti-social actions that you gave as examples to equate with people being deliberately poor spellers. JBE was the one that extrapolated your thoughts ( I don't think it was such a leap as to require mind reading effort) into the statement: "It is basically anti-social not even to make the effort." Since you revealed your masochistic streak when speaking of how you enjoyed being raked across coals---I will stop here---not wanting to fuel a fire. BTW I do appreciate it when writers put the efforts into being understood. I don't find that much to complain about in that vein here on the SI boards. I guess it is just a matter of perspective.
