What I am trying to prove here is that the proofreading guideline should be
included in the audyssey list guidelines.
Sorry if my last message was not clear as I had hoped, I will try to be
more clear nexttime I write a message like this.

Sorry, my reply was to the last message from "shiny protector"
Hello Mr. Ward,
I absolutely disagree with the idea that you have told us about the
proofreading guideline. We should implement the idea, because if we do
not implement the said idea you are talking about, more messages with
poor grammar, punctuation and spelling may be sent fourth to people
and this mailing list. I, myself, may not be perfect in my writing,
but my writing is extremely satisfactory these days. My point is, even
if people find the guideline highly insulting or highly agitating,
the guideline should still be implemented into the guidelines for the
audyssey list.

Hi Ian.
Punctuation is as important as good grammar and spelling. I found your
message hard to follow.
As a rule of thumb I skip messages if someone did not bother with at
least getting most of the punctuation and spelling right. My reasoning
which is wrong in many cases I'm sure, follows that if you did not
bother to use good language, chances are you did not think through
what you are writing about. It is different for those who use English
as a second or third language, but it is also easy to differentiate
between sloppy writers and non English writers.
I should also probably add that English is my second language and this
is why I take extra care when composing a message.

Hi well if that had been added to the guide lines i would not have been
angry there is an email simming group i use to be on and i was kicked
off
for my in proper grammer i was younger then so did not care now i do. a
lot
of the time my bad righting is because i don't know how to spell a word
and
i've ither spellt it so close to the word the spell check does not pick
it
up or way out so the spell check can't understand what i mean. if i
don't
know how to spell a word and the spell check does not pick up on it i
now
keep righting the word out untill i get a word that sounds like it or if
some one is around i ask them for the spelling.
