Kendall we haven't been able to standardise english spelling for thousands of years (colour /color and center/ centre etc) but it doesn't prohibit good communication. To be honest I was thinking about the few percentage of people who suffer from Dyslexia and how difficult and sometimes embarrassing for them to be upbraided on a public forum because of spelling errors. If the meaning is obvious then it's good enough for me.

I do appreciate your point of view however. The people who just don't care to learn when they could are indeed an irritant. (I have just cut and pasted this into Word and spell and grammar checked it just in case I shot myself in the foot)
