Got cut off some how.

Actually I thought I had decided not to send it, and came back and some
how hit the enter key.


A long time ago I was working for small airline and I was asked to evaluate
any letters from the pilots that were sent to flight ops. I was acting as
filter for the Director of Flight Ops. Now, as a class, pilots aren't too
bright and none of them can spell but when I hit the fourth misspellled word
I'd throw the thing in the trash can. "This guy can't know what he's
talking about." It was done at a subconscious level. It takes me a while
to figure things out but I shared their contempt for spelling in my own
writing. It finally dawned on me that if I look down at bad speellers then
other people must look down my work. It's human nature and you can"t fight
it. If you want your work to be accepted then you have to project an image
of intellect.

Usenet Rule #5: "All posts complaining about spelling must themselves
contain at least one misspeeling".

Sorry, I missed that memo.
For the record, I disagree with you. I cannot spell, but I'm no idiot. Some
people are good at math, others are athletic, and others can spell. Just
because it's easy for you doesn't mean it is for others.

Easy is not a factor. All things worth doing require effort. What is
"cannot"?

Thanks. Age is a mitigating factor, though. I will no longer play poker for
real money. :-=

Only thing is that many things don't have to be perfect.

True, but _everyone_ can take the time to re-read their post, and everyone
can learn basic rules, like their-there, to-too-two. By not doing that,
people that can't spell _do_ look like morons.

They should run spell check if'in they know they have a speeling problem,
also.

So I am a moron if my spelling isnt correct? Bet I know more about your
language
(english) than you know of mine (swedish), and I will not call you any bad
names
if you are not correct when trying to use mine.

With bad or good spelling. Have a nice day Owe R
