Lines: 33 With all the postings about spelling being posted for the last 4 weeks, do we realy need more? If people haven't gotten the message by now they just aren't interested enough. I suggest you 6th grade spelling and grammer teachers send your critiques and complaints by mail. The following is form an article in net.announce.newusers [ A Primer on How to Work With the USENET Community [ Chuq Von Rospach (nsc!chuqui) [ Subject: A Primer on How to Work With the Usenet Community [ Message-ID: <350@cbosgd.UUCP> [ Date: Sun, 30-Sep-84 18:52:37 EDT [ Organization: AT&T Bell Laboratories, Columbus [ Spelling Flames Considered Harmful [ Every few months a plague descends on USENET called the spelling flame. [ It starts out when someone posts an article correcting the spelling or [ grammar in some article. The immediate result seems to be for everyone on [ the net to turn into a 6th grade English teacher and pick each other's [ postings apart for a few weeks. This is not productive and tends to cause [ people who used to be friends to get angry at each other. [ It is important to remember that we all make mistakes, and that there are [ many users on the net who use English as a second language. If you feel [ that you must make a comment on the quality of a posting, please do so by [ mail, not on the network.
