11/10/08 READER SUBMITTED COMMENTS: Its (not it's) is the correct possessive form


Love reading your blog. Fascinating stuff. Much more convincing when things are spelled right.

Signed,

A stickler for spelling


COMMENT:



Dear Stickler,



Please forgive me, I was raised in the Hills And Hollers of the Ozark Mountains of Missouri.



You are right the spelling and grammar errors do detract from the blog.



The real sad part of the story is that I have been trying to catch the spelling and grammar errors. I often save the posts as a draft and review them one more time before hitting the publishing button.


I do have a vision impairment that contributes somewhat to the errors, but truth be told, I should also take much more care to go over my post two or three times to catch all of the mistakes.


I am much to quick to hit the publish button.
