Re: [chat] the 59 deceits of michael moore.


without wishing to get drawn into this either way... can I just point out that 
just about all linux distros come with several dictionary/spelling tools... 
so what is the deal with your spelling man? 
I don't want to sound critical but it does somewhat detract from the 
intellectual credibility of your arguments... 

Korea... (not 'koria')
infinite... (not 'infinit')
they're (not 'their')
nor (not 'nore')
etc...

not hard is it..
just a few small changes and people might take you more seriously. 
and may consider the views you present as being worthy of serious 
consideration.

It really doesn't matter to me... I just think it's a shame that your 
otherwise flawless and insightful arguments may be disregarded as a result of 
these trivial insults to the English language.
