I see a flaw in my logic called "I can't spell"... spelling is fundamental to the success of the net because we are dealing with programing languages. Poor spelling is my down fall, at one point I thought it wasn't important but know I most certainly do. People have told me to use google as a quick spell checker when the red line appears and I will try my hardest to do that. Sometimes I will slip, please don't grade me on my poor spelling because I am most notoriously know as being a systems failure. IF I am to continue any further, I must not make these mistakes repeatedly. Thank you for your concern.

I am concerned. Are you sure you're taking your meds?

Now Cloud, JB has made an honest concession and deserves consideration for that.

JB, is English your native language?

It might be that English is not his/her native language. That's a legit question.

He/she did make a concession to a point, took it pretty well, I'm with UT.

@ JBK: Lying is not a necessity: diplomacy, tact, and imagination are. Where do you differentiate?

JBK's grammar is excellent, so I guess English is his (her?) first language.
If it's any consolation, it wasn't until third year of university that I learned how to spell necessary, and the difference between it's and its. I had a PhD before I learned the difference between practise and practice.
English spelling is horribly inconsistent.

What is your situation, JBK? Studying? Graduated? What's your schtick?

While rules clearly state that posts must be 95% correct in syntax, grammar and morphology, and must conform to standard spelling and usage, exemptions are available. Please fill out a 27b/6 and submit to the Ministry.

Welcome to the Cellar, JBKlyde.

I'm a HE. I am on my medication, and I see a very serious need to stay on them seeings how every time I have ever gone off my meds I have either ended up in Jail or the Hospital. I've never been in either for 28 days or more at a time. Actually I am feeling extremely sane at the moment . My Native Language is English, however I aspire to create a program language called ZXVD, "Zion X Valentines Day". It took me three tries to pass English 1 and 2 and when I did I fell in love with writing, but I flunked out of college. My differentiation ratio, I'd say, lies some where in the sands of time of science fiction, and the realm of pretend. My Goal is to be a visual communications major at ITT.
