i have never been a good speller until recently. i have a dictionary shortcut on the taskbar and use it constantly. in the last 6 months i find myself using it less and less.

the constant checking has improved my ability to spell dramatically (i wasn't sure about that word, but i spelled it correctly.)

i would suggest this to anyone who has trouble spelling as a way to learn.

now that i am 71, it,s nice to be able to spel.

Now that we've concurred the spelling issue, let's work on grammar. When to use your or you're, myself instead of my self, there or their or they're.

I'm trying to take it one at a time :). Now that we've covered the spelling part of this lesson, it's time to move on to grammar. I'm probably going to get slapped as this should probably be separate thread.

Anyway... go at your own pace... there will be no final in this class.

"your or you're"

use your if it is something that belongs to you.
use you're when you were going to say you are a dumb ****, and you save the letter a and a space and replace them both with '

"myself instead of my self" i think myself that i would use myself instead of my self. i'm not sure if there is a hard and fast rule.

"there or their or they're".
there is a place. here or there.
their is ownership. their cars their shoes.
they're when you are going to call a group a bunch of dumb **** instead of they are. again you save the space and the a and replace them with '

they're a bunch of dumb **** for leaving their shoes out there in the rain.

Okay That's it all these rules My posting is going to slow down to a trickle now . I don't have the time to sit and go through all these rules before,or while making a posting..All of my posting is done inbetween customers, bidding in here and talking with representive's from companies and trying to have a Gar in between and during all of this. LOL.. Now where is my list of spelling and grammer did I get this all tight this time? Ohhhh Heck I give Up.. Later.... TinMan
