Moderator note - spelling

["Tesla list" <tesla@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Original poster: Terry Fritz <teslalist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi,

I just thought I would mention spelling since I have not in awhile...

Spelling on the Tesla list is "not checked and is not graded on" ;-))

Since there are so many people from other countries, backgrounds, 
languages, educations....  The poor spellers would be picked on if I let it 
be a subject...

Spelling has been the number one "troll issue" over the years and has 
gotten two folks thrown off the list since all they could do was go nuts 
over spelling...

If I see something really odd I "might" fix it...  But spelling is as it 
is...  Spell check is real nice these days...

But, I will not allow others to bother others about spelling.

Cheers,

        Terry
