Corporate responsibility and misplaced perceptions.

Anyone can write intelligent these days with all the knowledge you need to do so at your fingertips. If you actually talk like you write you must bore the hell out of everyone around you. This goes out to several of the writers in this thread. You know the "regulars" with super high thread counts. You know what I like about two people with high thread counts on here, restedgal and blarg, they are smart people that don't have to try and prove it to everyone. This is a forum for CPAP and that is all. Go practice your self absorbed look at how smart I am writing on a mensa board.

Yur darn right smart on that one, Mike! As I see it there are only two essential elements to any intelligent writing these days: vowels and consonants. As you keenly point out, the specifics of how to weave them together are all laid out on the Internet these days. All anyone really has to do is string those two elements together in a fairly clever way. Next thing you know, you're yammerin' and hammerin' out prose that would just embarrass the Dickens out of Shakespear.

Please don't put words in my mouth again.

Well, obviously you value theories that have no proof, which is where we differ. I didn't think I was putting words in your mouth, and I apologize for the misunderstanding.

Yabbut,

Praise the lord for the new interactive spell checker (a new cpaptalk feature ?) - just need a grammar analyzer & corrector & my bacon gets saved big time

Avoids those repeated corrections I always need, like the ones where I say something like "that always never happens" & this bad grammar plus poor typing morphs it into "that always happens" .

LOL! Speaking of spell checker, Doug, check out the way I misspelled THE Bard of Avon. There sure ain't no career in yammerin' and hammerin' out respectable prose for -SWS. That's for sure!

On the subject of spell checkers, I like FireFox's automatic spell checker. It interactively highlights misspelled words as they are typed. I just can't remember to run spell checker here while using IE, and I can't seem to remember to use FireFox when I post to a message board. It's them durn apnea-fried brain cells acting up once again.

Memories... gotta love 'em if you have em.
