OT: Public Apology

[Scott Jackson]

I would like to apologise to all for my unkind public outburst of pedantry.
 
Shawn, I am sorry if I have contributed to your bad mood. As I said, I did
not wish to pick on you personally. Yes, I do feel like pointing out the
strange spelling and grammar that appears in all the messages here, not just
yours.
 
You have made excellent suggestions as to how I can better spend my time,
and if I am not successful in becoming a RPT, I shall try for a career in
book editing.
 
Thank you for your thoughts.
 
Scott Jackson
Mt Keira, NSW, Australia.

You notice these because apparently you have nothing to do with your time.
Perhaps you will correct other list members on spelling and grammar.  Or
better still, maybe you will find something to do with your life that you
can profit from.  Maybe you could study for your RPT exam or give the book
editing business a try.  That might be the best option for you.  Thanks for
your kind regards and watchfulness over the list.  You can now email those
list members who do not have English as their first language and tell them
how lousy those translated messages come across at times.  I saw a few of
those to day.  Oh, and you can kiss my ass.  Just wanted to make sure you
know how I feel about you.  I'm sure you don't email everyone who might have
spelling mistakes in the messages they post...  Do you?  Sorry, maybe I'm in
a bad mood as well!

Corrections.
Please don't feel picked on; I just happened to notice these.

I have finely done it!   
finally
I just hope it don't slow my tuning time down any at first. 
doesn't
 
My only justification for being a self-appointed pædant is that list members
who do not have English as their first language may have difficulty
interpreting words which are nearly correct. Or maybe I'm just in a bad mood
today :-|
 
educationally yours,
