Neverending, the way people mess up on CL.

Hello, Bill. I wonder if they don't take the time to actually type, maybe the listing is done by talking into a phone? I don't have one of those high tech phones, yet :-) Regards, Lou

Could be.  We have a friend who does a lot of that e-mail by talking into the phone, and we do a lot of interpreting of what she sends us.  Quite amusing, some of the messages, but she's not naturally a good speller aside from the tech, and sensitive about it, so we don't tease her.

Spell Check wouldn't catch this one as it a real word. I think he's just a dumba#$.  Kind of like the Radio Alarm saw. I still see these on CL.

Too many either never learned to spell, or just don't care since it is the interwebs, doncha know!

I honestly don't believe the interwebs have anything to do with it Papaw.
It should read - Too many either never learned to spell, just don't care, or both.
A person who could really read human minds would be privileged to gaze on some correct imitations of chaos.
