One point I would like to raise in this discussion on English
usage is that I always thought of the  Net as a (albeit slow)
DIALOGUE. DIALOGUE, as in I talk to you, you talk to me.

I outgrew correcting other peoples' speech in grammer school.
Let's treat the Net like a dialogue...
Netnews has a kind of "free form" attititude (sp?) that I like.
I feel that as long as the gist of the thought gets across, the
author is doing ok. So I misspell a word. BIG FAT HAIRY DEAL.....
all you English grammer picayune turkeys can MOVE IT TO NET.NLANG.

If I want to FLAME I CAN FLAME HOWEVER I PLEASE. If it meens
grose mizpelings, thatz oh kaye. If, it, means horrendous grammer,
then! tha'ts okay two. 

LONG LIVE NET.FLAME!!!
