Is it advise or is it advice? Yes it is! One is a verb and one is a noun. Guess which is which.

BTW, use "an" before words beginning with vowels and "a" before words beginning with consonants - except in certain circumstances such as words beginning with "h" OR does 2+2 no longer equal 4?

Now comes the next question/s.... ?

I'm all for spell check. I just type things as I think them, I'm a grease monkey, writing is not something I do very often. If it wasn't for forum's I'd probably never write anything.. I take that back, I do write out invoices and such, but nothing that really "matters"..

The only things I dislike are typing in cap locks, I wont even read a post typed that way. Not using period's or starting each sentence with a capital letter. Paragraphs are nice too.. As far as how words are used, even used in the wrong context, I know what someone is trying to say. If I can easily read it, it's all good with me..

In digital audio, it's called Error Correction. I guess the human brain can do the same thing.

Yaeh Waht he siad.

I loathe the use of quotation marks for emphasis. But they do give me a chuckle pretty often. It just makes everything they say sound ironic.

Local car dealer had a billboard touting:
The BEST "deals".

what about using *these* to emphasize? cracks me up, so I use'em.

I think *these* are used in some computer applications because "these" don't get processed correctly.

For car dealers, it should be "BEST" deals.

The real problem is that words like irregardless are not proper but so frequently used that society has made them generally accepted. I thought I heard at one point recently that irregardless was officially accepted and placed in a new dictionary. Maybe I am wrong but if we as a society have found it easier to accept than teach proper english, that is a tragedy. I am not perfect in the area of grammar and spelling but leaps and bounds above what I see in new front line employees. Seems that the schools are more interested in how the child feels than what they are learning.
