Dear Christine

Please check the grammar of your replys more carefully,
if you care to take the time to re-read your response, I'm sure you'll agree
that it does read very badly.

If you continue to respond with such lacking grammar,
I will not respond to any of your questions and urge others to do that same.

Your age has no bearing on this, and is most certainly NO excuse for such
poor grammar.

nige.

Dear Old Nige (How cutsie)

I don't usually respond to this sort of nonsense but I have to say that if
Christine is indeed a real live person then you are exhibiting an unusually low
degree of human understanding. I hope that at age 78 you are able to take on
the challenges of technology in that era. There are many seniors who never had
the opportunity to gain a higher education.
BTW - your spelling leaves something to be desired - it's not "replys" It's
"replies" and the phrase "respond with such lacking grammar" is a fine example
of English as she is spoke.
I think you owe Christine an apology.

Well I will get involved with some degree of trepidation.
I am a retired lawyer. I trained many in the art of writing and communicating.
I am now 80 years of age.
I write much email. I find it troublesome to make all my writing completely
and grammatically accurate.
My purpose is to communicate an idea. Rarely is the accuracy of grammar a critical
element. I will note such situations and take care to be accurate.
If the recipient understands the point intended, then there is communication.

Problems with that??
