    No, I am not trying to say that commonly misspelled words are the result of a medical condition for everyone. I have no clue what the ratio is, and honestly I am not interested enough to even research it to see if there is an answer. What I personally am saying is that many times there is a valid reason why someone can't spell good, and it's not because they are a schmuck, or to lazy to spell correctly. Would it look better and read better if every post was well written and thought out....sure....unfortunately for various valid reasons, some medical, it's just not gonna happen. Even though I wish people had a better command of the English language I am not prepared to just blow people off because they struggle with spelling....are you? Sometimes you just have to except people for who they are and what makes them, them.....and go with it....you might just learn something from them...I know I have, and my life has been richer for it.

    variant spelling and / or intentional blunders in the vocabulary when done "online" by skilled posters is or can be a manner of conveying subtle nuance of intent that is not available in acceptance enhanced correctness .... to enforce total compliance with normative stricture is dis-proven by the proliferation of tarps/tie-downs from sources contracted by Beltway Lawyers who will never be ten feet off the ground in freezing rain

    it is bad enough site will not let us cuss, probably has a rule against females chewing tobacco .....

    If you want to cuss go find another site, cause it's not gonna happen here.
    There are other trucking sites where I am sure they will let cuss.
