It is your right not to read something that you find difficult to read.
If you lack the imagination or understanding to realize that not all of
us ARE good spellers then so be it.  I feel it is foolish to pass up an
article that can be useful, informative, or entertaining, just because
the author misspelled "paid."

A formal paper, or business letter is a place where spelling should be
carefully checked and all grammer mistakes corrected.  A posting to a
public net where people exchange ideas, should not have to be so "proper."
Am I saying people should submit crayon scrawlings?  NO.  I am saying that
a person should not have to spend their valuable time checking every little
word for spelling just to share a joke with a few fellow hackers.
