I'm just going to chime in here and say I wish we were all a LOT more ready to point out when others are using incorrect spelling and grammar. It would raise the level of discourse, and we'd finally be able to get some serious debate going on. I agree whole-heartedly with stevo that someone who fails to spell Israel correctly is not helping their argument. I know it's not friendly. I know it doesn't sit with the "Respect Everyone, no matter how stupid they sound" mentality of the TFP. But it's the way I feel. Call me a grumpy old man, but what did some people spend their time at school doing?
If it's too hard to remember how to spell things - download and use an in-line spell-checker (it's what I do), there are lots of them about - and treat the people you expect to read your posts with some respect by correcting your most glaring typos and spelling mistakes. It's all about having, and showing a little respect.
So, respect to stevo - I'm glad you're unafraid to stand up and point out when someone is slipping up. Having said that, willravel is right too - it doesn't mean a badly spelled opinion has no merit - it just really gets on my nerves.
