S T O P I T !!! EVERYONE STOP TALKING ABOUT SPELLING. I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW DAMN SORRY I AM THAT I MISSPELLED A FEW WORDS!!!!! SORRY! SORRY! SORRY! SORRY! SORRY! SORRY! SORRY! SORRY! SORRY! SORRY! I STARTED THIS WHOLE STUPID THING, AND NOW I'M GONNA' TRY TO PUT AN END TO IT!!! NOW EVERYONE GATHER AROUND LISSEN' HERE: now that everyone has proven they can/can not spell, let's DROP THE TOPIC. this is net.jokes.d, not NET.SPELL.IDIOTS!!! don't you people realize that when you type a letter on the net you generate data on HUNDREDS of machines????? if you can't handle a little typo, THEN FORGET IT!!! YOU'RE TOO DAMN PICKY FOR THIS NET. everyone get a grip, grow up, wake up and smell the coffee, get off your high horse, join the real world, get off my case, take a spelling hike, realize people don't really care to see this kind of junk on the net, at least not in THIS topic. maybe an admission of complete guilt will help things.... i admit it, i'm an IDIOT, my IQ is still in the single digits. OBVIOUSLY if i misspell a word like monitor, i CAN'T spell it, and EVERYONE on the net needs to learn how. god, i wish EVERY misspelled word or two had a follow up letter from a genius letting the plebe know the way and the truth. it's not like we'd ever know on our own. i feel so lucky, so enlightened, so enriched by the experience. i RUSHED to my dictionary and put the word 'MONITOR' in my obviously lacking version. rccall: i'm now going to spell a word incorrectly, and i want you to write back to me personally (at ihnp4!ihdev!rjv) and tell me the correct spelling. this will be like something of a trial run. that way in the future you won't have to torture everyone else on the net. the word i want to spell is 'peruke'(look it up, i'm not a dictionary service!), but i'll actually spell it 'paruke'. here goes... ghee, that's a lovely paruke you have there. there, now rush your correct answer to the address given. you'll feel better, showing another retarded idiot the light at the end of the tunnel of proper english, and the rest of the net will never even know! my one big point is, send that kind of help/hate mail to the person (or me) DIRECTLY. sinSerely, <-- look! everyone jump on it!!! send those 'correction ron letters' RIGHT NOW! (replies to: ihnp4!ihdev!rjv) ps: i would now like to apologize for all of this. why am i acting like a three year old?? because i'm SICK of the 'nanny-nanny boo-boo, you can't spell pooh-pooh' attitude i've seen, and i'm fighting fire with fire (or pooh-pooh with pooh-pooh, whatever the case may be). let's face it, this has gotten out of hand. even the one person who came to my defense was wrong! i DID misspell embarrass (remember, i was dropped as a small child, can't read etc. etc.) a valiant effort, and i sure appreciate it, but gheeez.... am i getting carried away here, or will maybe all of this ranting and jumping up and down (if it's in caps i'm trying to YELL!) will knock some sense into some people. i'd like to hear some thoughts on the matter. ----------
