I have read it and see nothing relevant.

Well, if you are that blind and did not see that I corrected myself 15min
before your smartass reply, I don't think you have any business trying to
read dictionaries.

Sometimes posts don't show up on my ISP's news server for a half-hour or
more. It depends on where they get their feed. The propagation time can be
great.

True. But knowing Mr. or Mrs. Clark, it's just another excuse to start a
flamewar.

YOU MUST BE ****ING KIDDING

PERSONALLY I DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE LOWERCASE

oh do you mean like this maybe? a complete and utter disregard for
grammatical rules, what will be next, no punctuation, holy ****in
crap.

pretty soon all sentences will look like this and they will run on
forever and they will sound like babble and they will turn your brain
to mush and it will be the wave of the future and your head will
exploding and this is the sentence that never ends

One thing I've noticed is that this all lower case

than from those answering them.

My first guess is that this is the result of our government
supported schools. It may be that this is what happens
when they run out of their Ridlen.

Do you have a dictionary??? Check out the spelling for
______________Ritalin______

I think the whiner was refering to methylphenidate.

It was a rhetorical and, sarcastic, question. I figured the rest of the
group would get that, based on the severity of the mispelling.

More of a "hot button" issue to me actually. Take a quick look through
alt.support.attn-deficit and you'll see why somebody with ADHD would
develop knee-jerk reactions to such matters.

You are all correct, I did misspell Ritalin.

Of course, I didn't have your advantage of having a
bottle on hand to check the spelling.

And of course if you misspelled "insulin" you'd make a similar comment.
