>The thought being that one only needs to communicate. Correct spellings and >grammar are impediments to people being able to communicate.
I disagree with that one! I remember (in the 1960's) losing marks for bad grammar/spelling on science projects (by teachers who were not english teachers). -5SP was the designation. I remember when my (now 18) son would do projects and, when I complained about his spelling, the teacher would say "who cares? He's communicating"! Communication only works when you are all using a common language. If everybody spells randomly, where's the commonality? - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
