It doesn't matter if you think you're smart; poor spelling and grammar give the opposite impression. When you're online, that is what matters! You don't have the opportunity, as you do in person, to prove otherwise except through the written word. If you're not sure of how a word is spelled (such as "Renaissance") then use an old fashioned dictionary (there are plenty online), since spell checkers are know to be poor at catching everything.

p.s. I've never met a _really_ smart person who was a poor speller in their native language.

Thanks John, I appreciate your defense. Joncanuck, I do know how to spell Renaissance, as I am a big fan of that era and the festivals. It's a really long story why it is spelled the way it is and dates back about 13 years. I'm sure that you aren't interested in it so I won't bore you. Although I'm sure you really do think that I don't know how to spell it, rest assured. I'm glad that you were able to retract your statement about never meeting a smart person that couldn't spell. Do you really think it was a smart person who COULD spell that came up with the idea of spell check? Yeah, probably not.

Now, when you want to question my intelligence again, please bring a topic to the table that you'd like to discuss. However, if all you are going to do is bash my spelling then please move along. I admit my shortcomings and don't need them endlessly thrown at me.



p.s. I'm sure there are some spelling mistakes in there. I don't really care.

Ha ha. I wasn't really going to sexy, smart or anything of the sort. Just laying it out. But thank you! I don't take well to unfounded insults.

What do you think? Thanks in advance for the feedback!!
