Next time you think someone would appreciate a service you have to offer why not TRY ASKING before forcing it upon them? Like you said, and I know how you hate to repeat yourself, you thought he would appreciate it. Obviously he did not and a great deal of other posters have expressed why it is that correction of their spelling is taken as a put down or a form of slighting.
>If not, fine. Continue to spell it wrong, if it makes you feel better.
Thanks for the permission to spell incorrectly should we all want too, need too, or do so out of our diseased brains or funky medications!
> And finally, for the last time, I wasn't saying he had little credibility, just saying that some would think so.
SAnd I am saying that I sense a lack of understanding in the above "I" statement. I, personally, still read it as containing a slight. Is there anyway you could rephrase the part you tacked on about "some would think so"? How about putting those some into an "I" statement?? Try again?
