[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by ebriley</i> <br /><br />know how typing on a computer and then clicking on "submit" can lead to spelling errors, but we're getting really bad (yes "we", all of us!) about that on these forums. <br /> <br />Ed <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Agreed Ed, just like the chat room slang isn't needed on a forum where you have time to spell out words. I'm getting kind of tired of see U and R and other shortcuts in a forum where you have the time to sit back and reread what you wrote before posting it. <br /> <br />Note this is not only this forum, but many that are now being frequented by those raised on chatrooms, I remember when Newsgroups were the norm and you really had to be careful about what you said, because it could be hours before you could post a rebuttle to a rebuttle. Then came the Forums, and we had a quicker way to respond, finally AOHELL arrived and mass marketed the chatroom (yes there were chatrooms before AOHell, but they weren't very well known), thus arrived the say what we mean quick before it scrolled off the screen mentality. <br /> <br />Please remember folks, you are now in a world of web spellcheckers and Forums are not chatrooms, you have time to reread and post and even edit your mistakes out (something i do alot of here). be kind and try to use the dictionaries and heck you can even write your post using MSWord, spellcheck it, then cut and paste here. <br /> <br />Jay
