But please you must understand also that some people on the List don't have English as there mother tongue. This list is friendly enough that I feel confortable to write on the list even if I know that I make grammatical errors and mispelling. My computer is French and doesn't do spellcheck. I speak and live only in French. My mother tongue is French. I lerned English at high school and at dog shows ( and in reading the GSD Review). I speak English maybe once or twice a month ans most of the time it's at dog show... People must be tolerant and I hope my credibility is still there even with grammatical errors and mispelling in my posts.

There is no easier way to blow one's credibility than by replying (in writing) with a post filled with spelling and usage mistakes. It makes the writer look foolish and/or ignorant. (I know that I hate it when I make a typo!) There is spellcheck but even that won't help homonym mistakes (ie there, they're and their.) I guess that makes me snobbish too. Penny in NY It is unfortunate that the one with the most errors comes from a GSD fancier. It's bad enough that we put up with that stuff on the list constantly...but to have it in a public venue makes us all look ignorant. Yes, my snobbery is showing...but why is it that the replies from others are not full of errors... what kind of grammar is "I am disapoint in..." Don't people pay attention to what they are writing? Guess not... ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
