[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 147296, member: 126"] Re: Am I just whining or is this stupid (Rigging) I meant that I typed "distracting" right not "homophones". At some point this kind pedantry becomes more "distracting' than the errors. Back in the 70's when I was running a kit business I had a lot of college student customers and I was surprised by how bad their writing skills were in simple written communication. This was before the rise of texting and smart phones, so a decline in education rigor. FWIW I almost failed HS english and have been paid to write articles, a magazine column, and co-authored one book, so there is hope for similarly challenged. I recall while writing my technical articles that I'd have to edit the edits. to make them technically correct again. :-) These days I rely heavily on spell checkers and they aren't ready yet to correct my random capitalizations.. I really hate it when Word software capitalizes words for me that I don't want capitalized. :-( Sorry about this veer... I generally contact posters off list to point out mistakes, but considered this one an object lesson with wider value. Just yesterday I privately advised a friend about how to spell "bus" properly. Of course I am fair game in this thread, so have fun, you'll probably find lots of mistakes in my posts. I post too much. JR [/QUOTE]
