Re: "global english" / 60 mails/day

[David White <dwhite@arbortext.com>]

While I appreciate Matthias' viewpoint, I must ask for a little slack 
regarding
typos. Yes, I consider "where" for "wear" a typo. I know the difference, 
but in
a two sentence joke proof reading is not a big concern.

BTW, Matthias, what is "nuriture?" It is in poor taste to describe the 
problem
and then fail the test yourself.
