Amber, I am sorry, but I had to giggle when I read this post, 
especially since, "grammAr" is in the subject line.

I admit that I did consult my dictionary before undermining your 
credIbility on this one... It's a good thing I did. (whether or not 
it's merited) Doreen :)

I agree with Amber. Most of my foreign friends try to be very careful 
with their grammar and spelling, especially their grammar. They also 
have a great sense of humor dealing with being corrected by Spelling 
and Grammar Snobs.

I am reminded of a saying ... something about glass houses, but my 
memory fails me at the moment, because I am trying not to snort my 
coffee as I check and re-check my spelling and grammar, lest I fall 
victim to the spelling snob elves. :))

Doreen, who finds this topic extremely amusing.
