If it weren't such bad form, I would come back & quote his post every 10 or 20 msgs.
To his 4 points & 2 questions, I would add only my previous 3 items:
- automation
- homonyms
- grammar
I know that it will be a while before the 3rd it technically feasible, but surely the 2nd is possible now. I am
really sick & tired of reading "your" when the writer meant "you're".
(Fortunately, no one has misused "yore" yet. I would start doing it tongue-in-cheek; but I don't know if anyone would realize what my intentions are. They might assume that Houston="redneck"; or, worse, that Texas="correct".)
Finally, if there were some
polite way to check spelling automatically, I would really like it. Ever since I found this thread, I find myself less tolerant of the laziness / lack of consideration that leads to failure to spell check & proof read.
Does anyone have a polite way to say: "Clean up your spelling, slob." There are times when I need it.
