The abreviations that are used today are a language all their own. Yes I do have problems with it from time to time. Makes you wonder why so many are either lazy or don't have a good command of the english language. Which ever it can get frustrating.

Hi! I am glad to hear that I am not the only one who has trouble with spelling. I seem to make a lot of mistakes then try to correct them and push the wrong thing and have two posts, so have't posted for a while. I was afraid of being laughed at. Glad to hear I was wrong

I don't speak hillbilly, but I do speak Range, which is quite a bit like speaking Yooper. And usually am on either my IPad or my iPhone, and have fat finger syndrome--LOL, my ring size is 4 1/2, so your fingers really don't need to be fat to have problems. And my computer is always changing my words to those which I do not intend. Often need to go back and edit after I've posted, due to those unintended changes resulting in total gibberish. We all have individual strengths and weaknesses, different first languages, differing levels of education. The only important thing is that we all love quilting and want to learn as much as we can about this wonderful craft/art.

If I don't understand the abbreviations in the note, I reply to the sender and ask for the meaning. Most of the time my posts have words left out. I also have a problem with my mind working faster than my fingers when I'm typing an answer to a post or posting a new question.

I know a couple of wks ago I had eyelid surgery and you had to use the antibiotic cream on the eyelids to make sure they healed well when it melted my eyes were so blurry I couldn't even dare to drive. I also know that when I tried to come one the board I could hardly read or type any info it was awful especially when I have good vision but I'm sure there may be others that can't see so good, or a medical condition or they were not lucky enough to have enough schooling to spell good. I know from working in the Dr's office there are many things including people who couldn't fill out the forms and were to embarassed to say that and I realized it and asked if they needed help. I think we need to be understanding that not everyone is lucky enough to have the education some of us have. Sue
