-Removed-Does this have anything to do with Rusty's latest assessment of your language comprehension ineptitude?
And why do you need to edit your posts due to misspelling, when the system here has auto spelling check? Most likely, you need to edit because you are using wrong and inappropriate words, which indicates you do not comprehend the meaning. For example, you do not understand the term 'etiquette'.

Whatever gave you that idea? I see an abysmal level of spelling errors every day on this forum.

@kewpie saidThat's because they are neglecting to note the red underline. It's an auto spelling checker, and not an auto correcting function. The correction is optional, which also comes in handy to those who also want to sidestep foul language detection.

By any chance, are you color blind in the red hue frequency? @#!%^&^....
@pettytalk saidI also get the red underline when I spell a word incorrectly. So I can back you up on that one.

@very-rusty saidI notice that if I spell the word honour without the “u” a red line appears. Isn’t the server American (USA)?🤔

@pettytalk saidThat has to be your browser, no spell check for me on Firefox, I think there is spell check in Chrome.

@very-rusty saidThanks Rusty. I'm certain Kewpie can back me up also, unless this person is a perfect speller 100% of the times he posts here. I imagine he was only trying to be humorous. I merely returned the compliment in code.

Since you know Dive more intimately than I do, since he's always at your heels a long time, do you rate him as material worthy of Oxford? Maybe as one of the plumbers there, since he likes water?
@pettytalk saidI think dive is an erudite poster and I believe him about being offered a place at Oxford. A lot of people have been held back by dyslexia over the years.

Dyslexia isn't an on-or-off thing, like diabetes. It is a psychologists' wastebasket description for a wide spectrum of character traits which have been commonly, and in my opinion wrongly, classified as 'deficits.' Similar to dyscalculia and autism, 'dyslexia' describes a bundle of abilities more or less strongly present in varying degrees in any given individual. There is strong empirical evidence that how people process information (note to KJ: that is a metaphor, not literally like how computers process information) is different in individuals and between males and females. Some people are primarily word-thinkers, whereas others are primarily image-thinkers; a very few are digit-thinkers (calculating prodigies) and some are melody thinkers (e.g., Mozart). There may be other types as well. Some people are very well spatially oriented and reliably find their way by dead-reckoning, whereas others rely on landmarks (I, however, am a navigational moron, but I recall telephone numbers of houses which no longer exist and license plates of cars which no longer exist and serial numbers of bicycles). More research needs to be done on how people think. Welcome to the human race: "You're all individuals, you have to sort it out for yourselves!" (Life of Brian).
PS In case anyone missed this over on the Jokes thread:
According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-10), there are five criteria for confirming a diagnosis of dyscalculia. I fulfil seven of them.
