I don't think the Mudcat is the place to bring up illiteracy, because there are many members who are highly intelligent, whose thoughts and ideas are cogent and timely, but who express those thoughts and ideas with atrocious grammar and spelling. We appreciate these thoughts and ideas, but we never point out their spelling and grammatical mistakes. Are we cutting them some slack because they're 'Catters, and if so, why? Just wondering? Seamus
