Which one of the mods were you picturing in the nun robes when the visual popped up on you? It's ok, you're among friends... nobody will judge you, much.

I was personally hoping you would misspell something in the OP.

It sometimes seems that the most dangerous thing you can do on the internet is point out somebody's misspelling. The only people who don't take it as an insult are those for whom English is not their native language.
I will mention a few things that I do before posting. I always hit the the Go Advanced button so I can at least take a look before I post. And yes, spell check is not perfect, but it can catch a lot of misspellings. I try to separate my thoughts, not with indented paragraphs but rather by spaces. There's nothing more unappealing than a post that runs a whole page as a continuous block. Even if its something I'm interested in I'll skip to the end and likely click out of it.
Finally the best reason I have for avoiding misspellings and assorted grammar mistakes is pride. What I send out into the world should look good, not be insulting and communicate what I'm thinking about as much as possible.
P.S. Audit is probably not the best word. It implies a 3rd party checking your work. I would probably have titled it REVIEW BEFORE POSTING and no exclamation point.

Just asked my electronic English dictionary made in China what dumbass is. "Sorry not found", but instead it offers dumb and ass. Apparently it is on the right way.
Dumbass as in jackass.

Audit my posts?
Good idea. I had been eying them suspiciously for a while. Been harder and harder of late to keep them from favoring one side or the other. There's a lot out there that can make a post lean one way or the other.
I called my lawyer, and my accountant. They said it was gonna cost me. Couldn't be helped, I said. It needed to be done.
My lawyer, and my accountant, they worked my posts over. My accountant checked all their numbers. Nothing had changed. They were the same as when they'd been nothing more than a glimmer of inspiration in my mind. Then my lawyer threw the book at 'em. That only made 'em lean a little more.
My accountant left. Then my lawyer took me aside. "Mister," he said, "It's a little outside my professional expertise, but I don't think that dead tree leanin' on those fence rails is helpin' yer posts any."
A very insightful guy, my lawyer. That's why I keep him around.:yes:
