[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 147273, member: 126"] Re: Am I just whining or is this stupid (Rigging) Not to harp on this, but sometimes simple grammar or spelling mistakes (wrong word substitutions) can lead people to ignore or diminish your advice. I recall years ago teaching a senior executive at my old job how to use the spell checker in our mainframe mail program (before email). It could be hard to take his communication seriously with misspelled/misused words. Grammar errors can be diistracting too. I see this often from younger people who don't (or didn't) read much... So you can be intelligent and know what the words mean, just not how to spell or write them. In the good old days you would have a secretary to correct your communication. Context based spell checkers are surely coming, but with the mashed up language used in texts I'm not sure how much demand there will be. JR PS: I see errors in the newspaper I read so even professionals drop the ball... Spell checkers only confirm it's a real word, not the right word. [/QUOTE]
