Merle,
I also gave Bill! similar leave and dispensation (but no compensation; and no
taxation without perspiration). ;-)
But our group-made gallery is not the Louvre, here. It is a (largely)
text-based communications medium. I could not suggest polishing grammar or
even punctuation, for those disinclined. But if words are missing or out of
order, then it may just take another round or two to convey a meaning or
question. That's not a great burden, but itself does actually incur a loss of
spontaneity, as in "speed" of getting the gist. As usually, there is balance,
if not a bargain, to be struck.
(some say, "The die is cast": But in fact, it *too* is struck.)
Otherwise,
"Houston? We've got a problem".
;-)
