Q. re: grammar and spelling for the regular posters

Hi All,

As some of you know I am a Ph.D., writer and editor by profession. I frequently spot spelling and grammatical errors on this board. Does anyone here want me to point them out so they stop making mistakes in their prose, or would you rather I just let things be? These errors don't obfuscate meaning, for the most part, but not making them would help you sound a lot more professional. And if I ever make such an error, as I am occasionally wont to do, I wouldn't mind someone pointing it out to me. Feel free. I would rather use the correct word/phrase than go on making some silly mistake for the rest of my days. I'd be happy to make these corrections in a separate post so no one feels singled out. What say you all? I do keep seeing the same common mistakes over and over.
