» save Mavis as my FRIEND - HOSER

Hi there! I am here only to assist those challenged by the myriad of rules, conventions and choices that must be mastered in order to follow proper and correct form when communicating in the written version of our language. I mean only to clarify, enlighten and perhaps educate; and by no means intend to embarrass, ridicule or otherwise upset anyone. Contrary to the popular opinion that those involved in this sort of undertaking are self righteous, self serving and obsessed with pointing out the mistakes of others, I am simply dismayed at the growing grammatical incompetence paired with typographical ineptitude. I do expect to be corrected myself from time to time as we are all far from prefect. I also expect to be criticized and disliked by some because they will find being corrected to be offensive. Of course it is probably that attitude that prevents some from learning properly to begin with and nothing I do can or will help them anyway. Nonetheless, my mission is to help. So shall I give it my best effort in the kindest, most considerate and understanding way I can in hopes of restoring a little linguistic diginity one post at a time. Please note: Personal Messages are welcome but not likely to be responded to. I am also not likely to interact with posters, contribute to the subject matter of the discussion or respond to comments directly on the open forum. I thank you for your consideration.
