Date: Fri, 24 Mar 1995 04:57:09 -1000 From: Mr.Nasty@ix.netcom.com (Frank Kenisky) Message-Id: <3kumk5$o0k@ixnews2.ix.netcom.com> Organization: Netcom Subject: Typo's Just thought I'd mention the problem with responding to posts in real time. As many can see there are a number of typo's which can happen. Several months ago I, (yes I do make mistakes, for I am not a rec.kite god) was in such a hurry that I forgot the "el" in Jewels for the kite club Jewels of the sky (JOTS). Just recently, I saw a posting which refered to a "MAIL DOG". (Sort of like a lap dog or a police dog except it delivers.) Well we all know that the individual posting is a Rec.Kite God and therefore could never make a mistake. May his keyboard got stuck. Point is that I received so much flack from one Rec.Kite God, his Divine Gomberness from Kite Olympis, about the mistake that he took it to an extreem. I would wish, and this is not intended to create another long argument about typing, that the gramer teachers out there would please think twice about posting their opinions and principles on grammer. That is unless it's funny. Like me. I'm real funny. So says the Rec.Kite God Coreyness. So please grammer teachers and rec.kite guardians (as in parents).
