Wow, this thread got a little dicey for a while!

I just wanted to say that I think this is the best site on the net. I have gotten many good tips and VERY fast answers whenever I've had questions. So what if Jack is the board Boomhauer (probably only Americans will get that reference)? He definitely knows his stuff.

Personally, I'm the biggest Grammar Nazi in the world. I won't even set foot in a business that has a grammatical or spelling error in their advertising. I correct the grammar of people on television. I e-mail webmasters and tell them where they have grammar issues that need to be fixed. It's a sickness. But, heck, that's where my skills lie. I'm a hack at Excel. I think it's great that we diverse people can bring our various and sundry skills together in a forum such as this.

Rock on, Mr. Excel!

You are right, anyone who *wants* to improve their communications skills is admirable...

I myself am English and speak no foreign languages, whilst it seems the rest of the world ALL speak English (somewhat embarrasing..)

However, in my post, I believe I did make the point that Jack is dyslexic

I'm no doctor but I don't think this can be compensated for can it ?

You can't take classes for dyslexia.

Spellchecker maybe, but if the person can't read properly either then they don't know which correct word to choose....

that's why I piped in, as I know Jack's spelling is down to a recognised condition that can't be improved by classes or coaching.

SO no big drama, just about every of the posts above are valid in their own rights...... opinions etc etc

maybe so's the validity of just trying to advise a relatively new board member who posts an intendedly-helpful message about Jack's spelling

I'm gonna bookmark this as I know it'll crop up again and I just wanna solve Excel problems

(Nate, your smilie is left-handed : as a right-handed person, I find this offensive. Please change it !)

Ah ha. More proof that I'm not American. I don't know who/what Boomhauer is. Plus I had a 9 year old kid telling me how to play softball today. (Bring your Son to Work day today)

Can this thread beat AudioJoe's continuing record? I hope so.

Should this thread now be moved to the Discussion forum? Who knows?

Peace out.

PS. Chris, I find your Union Flag background insulting to my race and religion. :wink: (don't pick on the lefties)

Chris doesn't like the lefty and I'm freakin' Mark out (although I think that's the LSD talkin'), I propose the following change to my Signature:

I get it! I get it!

Boomhauer is a character on "King of the Hill," a cartoon set in Texas. The point is his southern accent is so bad, no one can understand him except family/friends. This site has some .wav files of him talking.

 

[Mark O'Brien]

**** Nate, if you were a Guinness I'd drink you.

Could be LSD. Who knows what they slip in coffee here. It could be anti-depressants and amphetamines.

Animated smilies are just too advanced for me. Except for that jaw dropping one that I claimed as mine. (but you stole that one)

I preferred Beavis and ButtHead to King of the Hill and don't even get me started on Daria. (honestly, I'm not American, I just live here and watch TV, a lot)

Hey, now. Don't go "dissing" Daria :wink:

I liked Daria. Is it sad when you have family members compare you to a cartoon character?
