Dear Miesha:
I've often had the same feeling. However, I've never posted a message to
that effect.
Remember, there are two sensitive areas involved. The postings are in
English as understood by the writers. However, many have *no* English
spell checkers. Such a complaint throws wood on the complaints that
organisations such as ours are English centric and U.S. centric. (I
thought twice about that last sentence, but the complaints are *not* about
being "North American centric;-)
Your will note that I wrote "organisations" rather than "organizations". I
have never been able to get my Oxford spell program running in Eudora.
