I'm beginning to wonder...

Alright, so I have read previous threads about misspellings and poor grammar in Audiogon posts, and I have even joked about it myself in one thread a long time ago. In fact, while I was poking fun at a misspelled word in the thread, I misspelled one myself and was called out for it!
What I am beginning to wonder about is what percentage of Audiogon members speak (or write) english as a first language. Almost every day, there is a classified or a post that is nearly unreadable. The strange thing is that the post will be answered by several readers with no mention of the poor writing. It is so common, that I am wondering what pecentage of regular members are living in the USA. Does anyone have an idea?

Fpeel, Not surprising at all; I could surmise from your writing that you take care in your thought process, which is why it would have been an uncharacteristic error. It certainly would have been ironic to point out the importance of one's vocabulary, while tripping on a simple homophone.

I'll not treat your humor so lightly in the future! ;)

This is a good general thread and people should try harder to be understood. I use a spell checker as often as possible.
Stay with it. ItÂ’s getting very interesting.

I tried to start a thread about where people are from and the languages they speak and it never showed up.
Go figure.

Now, we all need to break out in a Chorus of "I Wonder as I Wander"! :)
