[BEARMAN]

I can ! But you are right, at times my spelling and gramer needs help, just asking if the Mods can add a spell check...possable?

[Tarlam!]

Is everyone in here this anal about spelling and grammer ?
MODS, Please, spell check, help a guy out.

GO BEARS !

TIP: If you add the google bar to your browser, you get a pop up blocker and a spell checker with it...

No, but only because we're also polite. They must have heard of that in Chicago, if nothing else.

This goes beyond spelling, however. Not knowing the difference between 'their', 'they're', and 'there' is a deep and grievous ailment. Anyone can wonder, uh, do I spell it 'dependent' or do I spell it 'dependant'. Lots of people have trouble with spelling suffixes. But not knowing 'too' from 'to' or 'they're' from 'their' reflects meticulousness, literacy levels, self-respect, credibility, any number of things. Furthermore, using 'there' in the speed of writing is a common error as a replacement for 'they're' - one never knows if it was just a typo. But using 'their' is a sign that the person knows it's spelled differently and has taken the time to notice it, yet still can't get it right.

A spell checker wouldn't help you, my friend, because you spelled 'their' correctly. A spell checker can't know what it is you wanted to say.

But since most of us, Packer fans of course, are polite and diplomatic, we don't say anything. Sentimentality probably enters into it too, because we do tend to feel sorry for the Bears.

Aren't you glad you asked?
