CCat's quoted passage above is proof that everyone falls victim to the occasional misspelled word. I am sure there are plenty in my posts.



My thoughts exactly . . . not a big deal to me if I or anyone else makes grammar, spelling or typing errors here.

That's you, but that's NOT CC. And just so you don't think CC is picking on you, I can show you ALL KINDS of posts all over other boards where CC checks spelling... He has even dogged my spelling... (like Geoge)

I do agree with CC, although I'm not nearly as anal about people's spelling.. I could care less if you misspell - it doesn't affect me in the least. But, how you write is who you are. You can have the best ideas in the world, but if you can't PROPERLY write them down, you might as well forget it... I routinely review applications and resume's and some are VERY sad - and getting worse year after year... It just seems no one really care that much about proper english or spelling anymore.

I have had a ton of job offers through the years, and almost universally I am told the reason they are interested in me is because I can communicate well in writing. I don't know if there would have been less offers if I didn't, hard to say, but I think I have made myself much more marketable by being able to write. And I am ANAL about spelling and punctuation in my Curriculum Vitea (sort of a resume) - that CV speaks volumes about who I am, both in my accomplishments and HOW I wrote the CV...

CC - you keep it up - it's for everyone else's own good (whether they like it or not!!!)
