Yeah, I saw others, but I only mentioned the one that I thought could indicate a difference in culture vernacular. BTW, anyone ever tell you to get a life? I mean 10 deliberate spelling mistakes in a post on the internet indicates a definate need for a hobby.

On the one hand, I recognize that email and the internet are informal means of communication, and do not deserve the level of attention a business letter gets. On the other hand, I see way too many mistakes in writing in my business practice. On the third hand, I see my bosses act as if it's a death knell for me to point out one "more" changed to a "make" in a 10 page document when they produce much more typos, volumetrically speaking. On the fourth hand, l33t speakers need to be dragged outside and shot, but only after making them take 15 years of spelling class -- laziness is laziness.
