I'm relieved........I thought it might list "eh" as not being a word!
Probably #11 :-)

Meh, whatever. I tend to be pretty strict on grammar, but this is a message board, not the SAT's. Sometimes when shooting off a quick reply, it is easier to let a simple error pass rather than go back on the tiny screen and fix it.
If i'm writing a report for work, I try to make sure it's perfect, and I don't tolerate sloppy grammar from people who are paid to produce copy.

It is not so much the quick relies that are the problem. It is the lengthy tomes that are the problem over and over and over again.

Ummm? Don't read them if the grammar displeases you so much, besides no matter what it has to say is going to be wrong anyway.

So I guess spelling isn't an issue, only grammar.

I'd rather have poor grammar and misspellings in a short meaningful post than a whiny long tome with perfect English.
