    I know that. I just felt that post 12 and 16 were neccessary to give back a little of what I was getting. No one is upset here.

    If I were to attack any post on any thread with numerous errors and quote them and highlight their errors I could probably start a riot or drive some folks away. I have no desire to do that, and I won't, but the fact remains that errors abound.

    I didn't imagine that you were upset or offended. We all make errors, and in the making, most can generally comprehend what was written. I have a terrible habit of using interminable compound sentences, which would be much simpler and more comprehendable if I edited them by parsing them, and then re-writing in simpler language. My comments in post #15 were as much a tongue in cheek critique of my own idiosyncrasies, as it was a gentle stirring of you tac.

    Grammar nazis are quick to correct "a" and "an" mistakes; explaining all about vowels and consonants. Ask them why it is a hour rather than an hour or a user rather than an user and post a link..

    That is in American English; I am not sure about the King's version. ;)

    I rate people more on being a good person than having good grammar.

    Frankly, I'm with whoever said that.

    I'm Southern so unless it is a "good or evil" situation; no one is better than others.
