Sorry...
It's me being lazy. Half the time I go back and fix them, often I don't
think of it. I never took any typing courses and so there was never anything
drilled into me in that regards. so, when I'm typing, the shift key is not
natural. If i'm posting on a message board that has a preview screen I'm
more likely to go back and fix them, because I do see how bad it
looks...here I usually just type a message out quickly and hit send. Though
I've read that in handwriting the use of a lowercase "i" is a sign of low
self esteem...wonder if it works the same way in typing? g
I know what you mean about not being to pay attention to the content of a
post because of some grammatical/style issue of the writer. My issue is with
people who can't spell...I mean truly can't spell and don't use
spellcheck...or they don't know the difference between sight/site...
there/their/they're... weather/whether...where/wear/we're. I've seen some
convoluted sentences, no punctuation, etc. and it drives me nuts.
I try to keep my posts coherent (though last night I had already had a
couple of cocktails
but that capital "I" is one that usually slips right
by me.
So, there's my confession...I can admit when I'm wrong
I promise I'll
make more of an effort G

Kristen, there's a deeply imbedded proof-reader strain in me. It was
scared
into me by a terrifying 9th grade typing teacher and got worse over the
years. If it is not terribly rude of me to ask, why do your posts ignore
the
capital " I "? If this is something young people do and I'm just not
"with
it", I really will try to adjust. It is so hard for me to pay attention to
what you're saying when some of my brain is wanting to hit the backup key.
Please bring me (gently) up to date. If I can learn to send email and
operate the coffee pot, maybe I can understand. I truly mean to ask this
sweetly, I just am without a clue. Polly

ok...i know after i post this i'll google and find what i'm looking
for,
but
here it goes...
I need a large amount of rainbow variegated thread...i've only ever
seen
it
on relatively small spools, but i know i'll need a lot to finish this
project, so i'm hoping to get a cone, figuring it will be cheaper
than
buing
many small spools.
have any of you seen such an animal?
wow! that was quick...and perfect!!! thanks a lot!!!!
