Ello

[basil]

On the spelling, grammar, etc., we realize it's easy to slip into the use of internet slang, which includes lots of abbreviation that looks like mispellings (and sometimes is). But, using slang assumes everyone is, on not the same page, but, on your page, and can decipher everything you're writing. Some folks here were born before computers could fit in one room, much less were household items; they don't care to learn or to communicate using truncated, dumbed down English, nor do we appreciate those attitudes that assume we might so desire. In other words, it's egocentric and often comes off as presumptuous. And, it's fucking tedious. So, knock it off, re-read Diesel Grinch's short course on etiquette, and above all, have fun!
