RE:RE:Literacy requirementsWell peterstockhouse, you have just made my day.
My spelling is not bad...very good really but my typing and editing skills are awful. I must admit to being quite embarassed at some of my posts here and elsewhere but if these fine gentlemen can make errors then I am in good company to be sure.
Thank you so much. I feel a whole lot better knowing this.

Here is the proof. You wouldn't to argue with professors, research, Einstein, and Orwell, would you?
