We need to show that we are competant, um, I mean competent :-) Seriously, though, we are *educators* and should write accordingly. I too have noticed many posts with typos and some posts with blatant misspellings, even in the subject lines. As a cordial request, it would be wonderful if all would read through messages at least once to check spelling before posting to an audience of over 10,000 fellow educators. I sometimes consult a dictionary or perform a spell-check in a word processor before actually posting to LM_NET or any other listserv. While I understand that we are all very busy people, I also believe strongly that it is our professional duty to set a good example for colleagues and the young people with whom we work. After all, everyone is judged by the way they speak and they way they write. I always try to write in a manner by which I want to be judged. <steps down from soapbox> Gabe :-) ------------------------------------------ GABE GANCARZ, Assistant Librarian Glenbard East High School Lombard, IL gancarz@alexia.lis.uiuc.edu Mac G3/OS 8.5, Netscape 4.06/Netscape Mail =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-= All postings to LM_NET are protected under copyright law.
