Verencat, I read and reread my posts several times as well and use a spell checker every time and English is my mother tongue!! I've made so many posts about being a teacher, that I want to make absolutely sure that my grammar and spelling are as correct as I can get them! MJ215 caught me once using "alot" instead of "a lot", and called me on it (as well he should)! It's actually a point of pride that I do my best, though. I would never criticize anyone else's grammar, unless I'm getting paid for it.
