 Your spelling still stinks. (But it's better than TAB's)

From Tom:
There have been a bunch more posts since I started typing, so I will close by saying that while I give you crap as well some times I not only have to think to do it, but even occasionally hunt down references.

FQ:

I know I give you all kinds of shit on this board, but I want to thank you, also.  Your posts, while often royally pissing me off, also cause me to examine my own opinions and biases, which can never be a bad thing. 

I want to thank you both sincerly as you both just made my day. It proves that I still can do my job even though I've been out of work for a few months. I don't mean this to sound condecsending at all. On the contray it proves that a smart old man, who gets smarter every day, had it right. He gave me the best advice I ever got as a prof and it was this. "Treat your class like a dinner party, say something provoctive, but which raises a good point. Then shut the hell up and listen (I'm still working on the shutting up part ). You will know if you've succeded if YOU learned something. If you didn't try harder, because you screwed up." I rarely leave this board feeling I didn't learn something. Its why I keep coming back.

I've always considered that the definition of a smart man.  Personally, with every new thing that I learn I also learn how little I actually know.

BTW:  dude, seriously, two words for you:  SPELL CHECK.

 FQ, If we didn't razz you about SOMETHING you would think the Body snatchers got us

And please.....one (1) space after a comma and two (2) after an end punctuation, colon or semicolon.  Your sentence and paragraph structure blow!

I fall into that category too
one space or so after everything.

Okay, sorry about the spelling, but I can't get MS spell check to install. Me, I'm dyslexic. I didn't learn how to read till I was 5 and that was because my folks (thank God my mom used to be a teacher) caught the problem and got me a tutor. She taught me to read by whispering the words out loud when I read and write. I do that to this day. It's why I will insert there for their and the like. It infects my typing as well as I just don't read the words on the screen correctly even when I give it a cursory double check. It's odd that I can "speed read" okay, but have to through anything I write without a spell checker letter by leter. Here, sorry guys, I just don't care enough as I know I'll get flamed anyway. Why bother?

FQ,

This is a good spell check program for Internet Explorer.

What does an eating disorder have to do with your spelling?

 

Just kidding.....dyslexia is a tough thing to beat.  It can set kids back years if not caught early.  Once again, thank your parents, not your teacher!  The first five years of your childs life are a terrible thing to waste.  They're like sponges!

I thank them every day Timothy, because what could have been a handicap, is now nothing more than a nusiance. Honestly, there is no way I would be able to do what I do for a living if my mom hadn't been a second grade teacher and caught it early. I went through grad school without owning a real TV. I read novels for fun. I wouldn't have made it there, or been able to enjoy reading without my folks and  I am very grateful.

I, too, am mildly dyslexic.  I've found a support group, however.  It's called M.A.D. (Mothers Against Dyslexia)

Did you hear about the dyslexic atheist?  He didn't believe in dog.

Thank you, I'll be here all week, and don't forget to tip your servers.   












I'm going to hell for that, ain't I?
