I'm pretty concerned about grammar- and the use of the English language in a public forum...
Here's another vote for a spell check on this thing!
PAWS- you're hillarious that made me laugh out loud...

Bailey....perhaps you should notice that Izzy is from Puerto Rico and English is his second language. Also, this is a worldwide forum, and there are quite a few folks represented here that English is their second language. Here's for a "check yourself" on this thing.

If we're correcting grammar, I do believe you mean hilarious, not hillarious.

Odd how you've taken my comment as a slam against his nationality, and against him as a person. English happens to be my second language too! Nice of you to stick up for him...I'm only saying that if we're going to have these emoticons, maybe we should think about a spell check...at least a spell check wouldn't be annoying to anyone! As this is a worldwide forum, I'm quite sure that we're all allowed to voice our opinions, or am I mistaken?

I agree with Burt. My first language is French and english is second so I will not always spell things right. And to me if I can at least read and understand it I have no problems with it whatsoever.

No spellchecks, thats like cheating. That would take the personality out of the posts.
Och börjar jag skriva på svenska så får programet spader.
