You want a war I'll give you a war... ;-).
I don't pretend to be a good speller, I'm no good at the gramma stuff neither
;-). Never have been and probably never will be. I do try and spell check
words that I trully don't know but seeing I use the web interface many typo's
get through along with some misspelling when I am lazy.
It's not something I am proud of but, I am not ashamed of it either. I will
admit that in my professional life I am much more careful but still not perfect
by any means. I guess thats why I just design and code and leave documentation
up to someone else.

Gee thanks!

In general I agree but right now I have enough stress in my life to worry to
much about my penmanship on LUGNET. I try the best I can (which isn't really
that good) but if I make a mistake I don't fret to long about it.

Very true.

Well I have flown enough to know that plane sleep does not count. So good
night and rest well.

I meant that in the nicest way, of course.

I think you left a comma out of that sentence fragment, big fella. :-)
All (1) kidding aside (I should have set followups to .fun on the last post
but they're set there now), I think if you don't want to be perfect in your
posts (not everyone can be me, after all (1)) you shouldn't have to be! This
is, afer all, a place to relax and have fun.
Everyone has to come to terms with the level they want to achieve in their
presentation, and what one sets as a standard for work may well be different
than when one is among friends, like here, especially when one is being
colloquial.

Now that's scary! Programmers should document their own code, how can anyone
else know what it does? :-)

I put a deliberate error in there for you to pounce on so you wouldn't feel
left out, but you missed it. :-)
1 - ok, most

Well I think you probably knew what I meant in that I leave final documentation
to someone else, i.e. the copy the customer sees, I have to document my code
for internal purposes of course.

Well I am not sure but I think it was the "too". Ah the great English
language. We have to, too, and two and their, there, and they're the plural of
goose is geese but moose ain't meese. How anyone learning English as a second
language can ever figure it out I don't know. Heck I can't figure it out
sometimes.
