Jayne:
When I first got on the Homeonet list back in 1986, everyone knew me
becauswe of my amazing spellings. I am a one fingered yypist, and I
go pretty fast (was timed at 45 WPM) but my accuracy suffers. Getting
Eudora and it's built in spelling checker was a God-send because it
highlighted all the errors, and I coulde go back and cforrect them.
When I strated doing that everyone complained that it didn't look
like *my* messages any more!
I have left thisw message intact with all the "weide finger" errors,
so you can see the overall effect of the messages before edeiting!!
They qare, by the way, typos. I aqm a very good speller.

Best!

Might help to look up "hearsay"... Kind of a useful word if you are a
classical homeopath, and one you should learn to spell.

Sorry, folks, couldn't resist. :-)

Warmly,
Anna

Ooooohhhhh... So that errant apostrophe is your *own* boo-boo? (Er,
everyone realizes that the possive form of "it" is "its", and "it's" means
"it is" -- right?)

Maniacally, irrelevantly, and insufficiently apologetically,

Julian is far more valuable to this list than you, Miss Anna, so please go
to homeopathy_open@yahoogroups.com where you will be welcome and fit right
in.

I think she is a troll - maybe from quackbusters? There are a lot of them
out there now trying to disrupt us

Um, Sheri?
Why do you think Homeopathy Open needs a troll?
Or even a combative and non-responsive PWA (Person With Agenda)?
Anna, Homeopathy Open list is open to a broader range of homeopathy-related
discussion, so if you want serious discussion you are welcome to visit that
list; it would be a more appropriate place for you than this list. But there
too, serious and responsive discussion is valued, and baseless assertions
won't get you very far.

Yes. My error. Humble apologies. A mistake I rarely make.
About to get "Eats, shoots and leaves"-- a book about poor

Promises to be a good read.

LOL, I love grammar and punctuation mistakes almost as much as a good typo!
Maybe you can lighten our day with an occasional snip or two when the book
comes.

Missing comma: No dogs please
Misused comma: apple,s, orange,s, grape,s (all on the same stall)
Misplaced apostrophe:
Next week, Nouns and apostrophe's (BBC website advertising a grammar course)
Pupil's entrance.
Please replace the trolley's. (the trolley's what?)
tomato's, potato's, orange's.
Missing apostrophe:
Prudential--were here to help you.
Dicks tray.

The difference punctuation makes:
A woman, without her man, is nothing.
A woman: without her, man is nothing.

And then there's the guy (according to a medical report) whose helmet no
doubt protected him from further injury when his head hit the pavement and
then came flying off. Wow, poor guy!!! (Not reallly a punctuation problem;
is that syntax???)
