Why should we excuse your spelling?  A: This site has a spell checker.  B: They still make dictionaries.  Expend a little effort.  The Internet is a great boon, but in my view, if people don't show some pride in what they are typing, in twenty years nobody will be able to understand anybody else.  Of course, I'll probably be dead by then, so it won't affect me.  I would very much like to see everybody (at least the English speakers) tighten up their use of the language.

Note to Admin:  It might help to include a dictionary with the spell checker.  In most cases the words are close.  It would really be interesting to see what the result would be if any posting or comment with misspelled words was refused.  Of course, many errors of syntax would still get through.  Hey, this is a rant, isn't it.
