That's funny; I can read it no problem and without any beer !
I still can't understand most of Bruce's posts, though.

Our new newbie buds here didn't post for a long time for fear of insults etc. and his first post the spelling cops jumped on him so he's wary
now...can we just please leave the spelling alone?????? It is very detrimental to the site IMHO.

language
Shari, when your newbie Nomad friends show up at your house do you not correct them for referring to you as their Omego? Not a good idea to encourage
members to dumb down communication --- the language is all we've got.

I agree with Osprey. I think it is a mistake to condone the misuse of the language. That's how we got to this point. If it is done with courtesy,
correcting language mistakes can be valuable. ++Ken++
PS about a year ago I gave a PowerPoint presentation to a group of Latin American engineers. In it I misspelled the name of the country "Colombia" as
"Columbia". I was corrected gently, courteously and with some good humor. While I was embarrassed briefly, I very much appreciated the correction
and I will never again misspell the name of Colombia.
