  • What's with all the nasty comments about spelling and grammar? I imagine most posters are in a hurry and make mistakes, and many of them may not be native English speakers. Before you criticize someone's spelling or grammar, consider whether you'd be able to write a perfect post in Russian, Spanish, or Chinese.

      • OP - No, just new to the site and find it sad that people spend so much time being obnoxious about usage instead of focusing on the content of the posts.

      • Or the repeated used of "asinine" that nobody seems to be able to spell right (and other relatively uncommon word); in the last few days I've seen it used at least 4 times and misspelled every time. Or the constant misuse of "it's" and "its". English is my second language and actually it's usually pretty clear when a mistake is due to lack of familiarity with the English language or just plain poor writing skills of native speakers.
