Brand[ names, slang, and spelling

[Jim Ferer]

David:"Is it wise to expose our more easily-led newbies to this sort 
of  stuff? [to wit, the ravings of She Who Must Not be Named] I mean, 
here we are, working tirelessly to uphold a decent standard of 
spelling and grammar, and this so-called role model can't 
spell "forums" properly.  I think the moderators should be told."

Nancy is under a great deal of stress, you understand, and an 
occasional "grocer's apostrophe" will slip in. But telling the 
moderators? Here's a paranoid fantasy: what if Nancy has a secret 
identity, a true double life, and *is* one of the moderators? Who can 
you trust? Who might turn us in for slandering her grammatical 
ability?  Don't forget that the UK and the US have an extradition 
treaty.
