X-Google-Language: ENGLISH,ASCII-7-bit X-Google-Thread: f996b,98346506215e9003 X-Google-Attributes: gidf996b,public From: tribe@io.com (WarDancer) Subject: Re: REQ: bra wanted Date: 1996/09/02 Message-ID: <322a9ac8.242331406@news.paston.co.uk>#1/1 X-Deja-AN: 177951341 references: <502jfo$4pd@salmon.maths.tcd.ie> <503j7h$9t@milo.vcn.bc.ca> organization: Tribe reply-to: tribe@io.com newsgroups: alt.ascii-art Remember that the internet is international and spellings alter quite significantly around the world. I'm British and spend my life altering z's to s's after b****y American spell checkers change them for me. The point I'm after is that we all knew what the poster meant and isn't that the point of language? To facilitate communication. If I want a spelling and grammar lesson I would go to an English language newsgroup, I don't. I'm here. Sorry if this reads like a flame, it's not supposed to. Just on one of my other newsgroups there has been an argument over spelling and it's importance for a l o n g time and don't want the same to happen here. jmashmun@nwlink.com (Joanna M.
