ربما ينبغي أن نسمح فقط ليسقط تماما الانجليزية من خلال الشقوق والبدء في نشر بلغات مختلفة

And before you release the hounds, TOS mentions nothing about posting only in English.

Perhaps we should allow only to fall completely through the cracks of the English and start posting in different languages
Or, at least that's what Google translate says it says. OBTW, it's Arabic.

I am perfect and I expect everyone I come into contact with to be perfect or I'm going to whine and complain... Really??? TOOL!

Shouldn't it be: "segaugnal tnereffid ni gnitsop trats dna hsilgnE eht fo skcarac eht hguorht yletelpmoc llaf ot ylno wolla dluohs ew spahreP"?

Maybe not as public as you'd like if you insist upon name-calling. And by the way, "...I expect everyone with whom I come in contact to be perfect...

What is posted here may be seen by the community at large. We may be seen as seen as representatives of the gun community (and CCW community), which we are. Why not put forth the best image possible (instead of what some may see as the stereotypical bubba image)? Proof read your post once or twice and put forth your best effort. We will still all make mistakes (and I am sure I have even made them in this post).

Nothing against anybody who's writing skills are less than others if they try (God knows as an engineer, I have relatively poor communication skills). If you are to lazy to even try, why not save even more effort and not post?

I've been relying on the spell checker in Firefox but because of this thread I've just added the After the Deadline add-on.
It checks spelling, usage, grammar, and sentence structure.
I'll report on how things go in a week or so.

I tried to download After the Deadline, but it isn't compatible with the latest version of Firefox. :cry:

I'm running Firefox 3.6.8 which, when I check for updates, is said to be the latest version.
After the Deadline installed perfectly on my machine.
I didn't use the download from the link I published, however, I got it from HERE.

I'll have to get Alan to run it through his new spelling/grammar checker. I just don't know how that one slipped past. :)
