Great thread Lej. I've been away for a few days, so I'm glad I didn't miss it.

For years I was a "lazy" speller, and often quite confused by punctuation. Since I also wrote lots of articles, I'd make sure that a more literate person than myself corrected everything before I sent it to it's destination. I have to say that my writing has improved greatly since joining Mudcat though, as I'm really horrified when I've posted something with obvious mistakes in it. In truth, Mudcat has forced me to "slow down" a bit,and that's good. The bottom line is that I check things two or three times before posting (especially when it comes to "headers"). I still can't shake the useing of brackets constantly though.
