Lines: 17 <==== yum yum ====> Well, Jerry Nowlin is a little :-) upset at the nitpickers on the net who like to fry people who can't spell. I agree to an extent: a few (!) minor (!) spelling/grammar errors are no reason to flame a person to itty bitty cinders. However, it *is* irritating to read poorly written postings (I know, I'm as guilty as most). This is especially irritating when it is so easy to check such things with such tools as the spelling checker. If you have the time to post articles then take a couple of more seconds to make sure that they are readable! Take some pride in stuff being read by thousands (!) of other people.
