I really think that the ORIGINAL poster of this post did not have ANY intention of OFFENDING. He simply wanted to convey that " correct spelling is important" for certain situations......as he described.
Fair enough .... we can use google to find certain posts within IIS rather than using the IIS search.
I would like to quote post #25 to reinforce this....

"Hmm.. Touchy subject!
A typo is common and I make them all the time. The same typo repeated in a sentence or paragraph is no longer a typo but possibly a genuine sense that the word has been spelt correctly because that is how one has always spelled it and unless someone else tells one otherwise, one will never know the difference.-------. Forgive me though if you have already done so and still suffer.
I meant no disrespect.
Any criticism offered here is
constructive and I'm sure anyone with English as a second language would welcome such feedback. My country of origin is a non English speaking country but I now live here and although English was my least favorite subject in school I have always strived to improve my writing and speaking skills. If I'm not sure of a word, I'll look it up in a dictionary for both spelling and meaning.
My initial post was to merely ask people to take
a little more time to correct significant spelling errors in both title and message body that would assist when searching through the forum. The reason I also say message body is that some titles are simply meaningless, like "Look at this", "Another question" etc. Significant words are those which directly refer to the topic of the thread.
Note I also mentioned in my initial post that I was not concerned about the poor use of grammar but this is from the standpoint that it generally will not affect a search whereas incorrect spelling will.
Thanks again for understanding. "
