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.

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! ----- Original Message ----- From: Scott Jackson <mailto:ScottWayneJackson at hotmail.com> To: 'Pianotech List' <mailto:pianotech at ptg.org> Sent: Sunday, August 31, 2008 7:28 PM Subject: RE: Switching from "conventional tuning lever" to carbon fiber. Corrections. Please don't feel picked on; I just happened to notice these. -----Original Message----- 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, Spelling Police -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
