I'm from Texas in the USA where we are often accused of having our own dialect. ahahahaha. (Tho I transplanted to Florida a couple of years ago for work)

I look at internet forums as a big ole cyber room where we get to meet new folks and enjoy shared appreciations. You encourage communication by the very nature of it being a internet forum. I don't sweat the small stuff as long as I can get the gist of what's being said. You'll always have a ton of lurkers who might be just about ready to join in on the posts - and then they hesitate because their spelling skills are below par. I'd rather they jump in anyway rather than lose out on the possibility of another great friend.

Y'all use the word spelt whereas over here we say spelled. You add the u's into favorite and we've removed it for some reason....maybe to complete the break from Englands rule? lol. I don't even know.

Internet = communications. Might as well be friendly in the process, eh?

Howdy folks!
