Bob,
I agree, too. Perfection would be nice, but it's not all that important in
the grand scheme of things, particularly when it comes to spelling, syntax,
etc. My concern is that not everybody takes the time to fully understand
what's been written before they shoot off an email in response.

little world would never touch. Correct English is my litmus test

railroads towards which we all have such an affinity and affection
Joe or who every you are,( NO NAME AGAIN ) I would concur with you 100%.
Not everyone has the time to proof read everything they send out,
especially
short
bits of info, or one paragraph emails that are just adding or correcting
something simple.
This is NOT a school for grammer, but a RR information sharing list.
Nothing
more!
