Bull !!! It's done all the time on many forums Here.

I'll leave it to the experts to show Link examples just for Fair Play.

It's done all the time.

I'm also tired of SS derailing good threads with, cheap shots about spelling and punctuality when he either doesn't like the poster or has nothing to contribute to same.

You of all people should know Dowly It's done on the Helio site all the time.

Oh. and I edited my post just as WEBSTER advised. I just posted my opinion as SS did.

Steve helped me correct myself on the spelling of "gamut" in a post where I spelled it as "gammit". He queried as to what a gammit is. He was doing it without malice and he is simply trying to help people, and is good natured. That is my experience with him in that arena, speaking of which, "Sparticus" is on @ 10 local time this evening......

Btw, if you don't know what "vihta" is in the comic I posted then here's a picture. It's a bunch of leafy twigs or branches from a birch tree that you beat yourself and others with in the hot sauna. Why? I've heard a reason that the leaves give out a kind of soap that cleanses the skin.

Here's something from the same artist I thought amusing:

True, it is, and people have pointed it out many of those times. In fact, a few years back, someone pointed it out to me when I did the same thing.

In my case I didn't go off on anybody or call them names, I just apologized and changed it.

As I do a lot here, because as it gets pointed out, I'm wrong a lot of the time.

It has nothing to do with who I like or don't like, especially since there isn't anybody here I really don't like, and if there was I would just ignore them.

It just drives me crazy when I see large numbers of native English-speakers who write as if they know something, but can't even write their own language. Sorry if it offends, and I try to keep it down, but sometimes I just can't help it.
